Open House Week is underway. Our friend Tyler Lindenholl came over to help stack the firewood, and begin moving things out of Maria’s studio to make room for the work of the nine artists who are coming to sell their work this weekend. The Open House is an organic thing, Tyler is now as big a part of it as the artists, he has friends and admirers coming to see him from all over the country.

Tyler is recovering from a concussion he suffered during a game he played for the Cambridge High School football team, we urged him to go slow and easy, but I’m not sure he knows how to do that. According to the rumors, he has a girlfriend now, I hope he brings her to the Open House.

We have to move the firewood into the shed, mow the grass, clean up the pasture, and Maria is a Curating Dervish, she will take apart the studio and re-assemble it. We are grate to Tyler, he has great character and a ferocious work ethic. I keep forgetting he is just fourteen.

Saturday and Sunday, 11 to 4. There will be two portable toilets here, no pets please. Makes the farm animals crazy, not to mention the irrepressible Fate who will be running amok, jumping all over people while I chase her around and yell at her.
