digging up denmark

I love Tycho Brahe. My dad has always had a fascination with the astronomer with the metal nose. It is pretty crazy. They are going to dig up Tycho Brahe's body to see what they can find out about his life + death. Did he die of poison from his rivals or did he simply eat too much? interesting.

I'm stuck inside with the flu today. So, I'm dreaming about living somewhere tropical and wearing pearls and eating mangos and studying tree bark.

a brrzy north wind has come down from Alaska today, and the puget sound is freezing and windy! and I am secretly super stoked because that means lots and tons of snow in the mountains for skiing!

dark + stormies

I am having some of my best friends over for supper on friday! Hand made pasta via smitten kitchen (this recipe really breaks it down), my own secret recipe for vodka sauce and for drinks... dark + stormies. I was introduced to these delicious concoctions a few years ago by two good friends from the east coast, and while we were on vacation at their beautiful lake house in new hampshire. Even though this cocktail is totally a summer drink, I think the dark and stormy weather we are having lately in the pacific northwest counts as a good reason.

light and spiders

Tiny trellises and tapestries everywhere. October is the best for taking photos, especially with little spidies all over, catching the light and getting in your hair. Check out this 10/10 project via Lost.
