Gulley Jimson and I used to be best friends, even though he is made-up. Wayward human and color appreciator,he is a main character in Joyce Cary's novel trilogy,one of my favorites. Irish Joyce Cary studied to be a painter, served in the British military and civil service in West Africa (where I grew up). William Blake, intoxicating painting, a complete devotion to color and the creative passion, and a disregard for pennies and those without appetites - how could I not acknowledge these roots?

Making Memories
I bought this drawing from the Pittsboro General Store one night long ago when Kathy and I visited to hear some music and get some dinner. The drawing hung on the wall above our corner-room table and each time we glanced at it, we smiled. For me, memories of feasting throughout time. I would post the artist's name but am unable to read it completely.
This view is from Fearrington Barn one rainy May morning when I was able to hear Barbara Kingsolver present her new book complete with slides, an introduction to her husband and youngest daughter, and the necessary delight of Nature's treasures. If you haven't read her work, add it to your list for some time, somewhere.
