~ One Love – Weekly Photo Challenge ~

Posted on March 15, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Ours is one of those “love at first sight” stories. We met when I was a freshman at the U of Washington, in fall of 1967, and married in September, 1969. This photo was taken in February, 1970.

Forty-nine years after we met we remain best friends and he is still my one love.

October, 2014.

~ Roofing the Roof ~ Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge ~

Posted on March 15, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Roof: ORIGIN Old English hrōf, of Germanic origin; related to Old Norse hróf ‘boat shed,’Dutch roef ‘deckhouse.’ English alone has the general sense ‘covering of a house’; other Germanic languages use forms related to thatch.

Thatch is not an option around here!

“You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower
Drying while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we’ll be caught for hours
Waiting out the sun”

The Lovin’ Spoonful

~ Lovey Doves ~ Weekly Photo Chalenge – One love ~

Posted on March 13, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

For the past few years a pair of Mourning Doves have made our backyard part of their spring to fall habitat. They are such sweet birds. All afternoon into this evening, they gleaned in the primrose rock garden, drank at the water feature and attended to one another.

“The mourning dove is monogamous and forms strong pair bonds. Pairs typically reconvene in the same area the following breeding season, and sometimes may remain together throughout the winter. However, lone doves will find new partners if necessary.” Wikipedia

~ Petal Power – Almost Friday Flyers ~

Posted on March 11, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

It’s downpour time here in the Pacific Northwest, at the same time my two mature flowering plum trees are in glorious full bloom. Though the light is not the best, I know this is my last chance to get photos of them before upcoming storms strip them clean.

Soon wind and rain will tear away these tender petals, blow them into the air (Friday Flyers!) and leave a carpet of pink ‘snow’ in the front yard.

~ Tuesday Two by Two -Coptic & Japanese Stab Binding ~

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

The past two weekends I took classes to learn how to bind journals and books using Japanese Stab and Coptic binding methods. I enjoyed it very much and I’m excited to share my projects, and to use these binding methods in the future.

Four Japanese Stab Binding Stitches.

Four Needle Coptic Stitch

In this workshop we learned to measure, cut and paste fine, long-strand paper to chip board for the front and back covers, cut, fold and stack the plain paper interior ‘signatures’ and punch the works. Then came the four curved needles and the actual stitching to create the braided binding. So very cool!

~ Weekly Photo Challenge – Harmony + Cee’s Odd Ball ~

Posted on March 6, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

This week’s photo challenge asks us to explore the concept of harmony. Whether it’s in music or in life, harmony involves balance, symmetry and congruity: “the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.”

While vacationing at Beach Haven, Orcas Island last October, I took this photo of the front window sill of our cabin. We store our reading and reference books and binoculars here. In the corner to the right side, Creighton keeps his bass guitar at hand. It is a time of deep harmony and peace for both of us.
