Lately we’ve been busy preparing the house for paint, which is most a project of masking.
Next Tuesday is Election Day and I wouldn’t want to distract you from voting. 🇺🇸
Ready for Rain will arrive again the following week. Until then…
On most Tuesdays, I share a story from my life on Orcas Island and a recommendation for something I love. I'm interested in how to design work and home for lifestyle, livability, and fluffy dogs. Learn more.

Small and isolated places like Orcas Island need hardware stores and I’m so thankful that Island Hardware not only exists but does so in such a family-like style. More than just about any other place, it is Orcas Island and I hope it never changes.
