Ditch Market Saturday

Posted on December 5, 2022

Went to the “Ditch Market” on Saturday where many local artists were sharing their creations. I picked up a Handy Bag and some other items as well. Tom and Leslie used to run a company called Archival Clothing which made bags, totes and backpacks. Their stuff is / was super – made in the USA, canvas and waxed canvas materials. The bags I have of theirs are in constant use. Tom and Leslie now run a smaller operation called Handy Bags and, again, the quality is exceptional and I am grateful to use their totes. More images from the market day on Leslie’s Instagram. Hannah has an office one floor above mine in the College of Design and this is her work. It’s cloth…

Sunrise

Got up early today to start my run at 5:30 am out at Mt. Pisgah. This is the Howard Buford Arboretum and I usually run one side, down the other and back to the top, which I did today. I got up before sun up on the first summit and then made it back for the image below. It was a beautiful morning – starting with hooting owls and yipping coyotes and then this:

Those who know me know that I bike to work each day. It’s short – a 2.65 mile ride door to door. As I posted a few days ago we have been hit with a lot of late summer wildfire smoke so I suited up in an N-95 for the daily ride. Sigh. It’s a bit much these days. We desperately need rain for a whole host of reasons and even knowing that the rains will arrive, these weeks of dry and heat and smoke take their toll . . . .

Pamelia Lake & Grizzly Peak

Posted on August 5, 2019

Below are some images from the Jefferson Wilderness Area, formerly just Jefferson National Forest. My daughter and I hiked here this past weekend to see where my father worked as a fire lookout back in the summer of 1947. He is in the top left photo and his cabin and the lake are also there, too. The cabin and the lookout that was at the top of Grizzly Peak are no longer there, but the area looks very much the same as when he was there 76 years ago.
