When I tell people I have 2 dogs and a cat, they are not surprised because after all I do live in the country … But when I tell them I have chickens too, I can see some people thinking: “Marion is a farmer too?“ And finally when I say I have 22 pigeons, everybody [...]

Photographer Theron Humphrey travels across the US with his coonhound Maddie, capturing her (and the country) as she poses on top of things. Do you know I once owned a dog like this? A great dog who did everything for me … probably he would have posed and stand on top of thing for me [...]

Once upon a time

Once upon a time I lived in a big old house in the deep south of the US in the state Georgia. The house used to be part of a cotton plantation and therefore had a large amount of ground around it. In fact so much land that if I went for a walk in [...]

I hope you survived the heavy storm o.k.? Here in Friesland, the province where I live, complete pastures are still under water, due to the enormous amount of rain. Lucky for us our little house is built on a mound; so we are save from the water … Will it ever become winter you think? I [...]

The other day I visited the Etsy shop of Chasing the Crayon and was surprised how many new drawings she had in there.

One week after our holiday in French we are pretty much used to the daily routine again… Jan is working on a complicated but fun commission. It’s going to be a variation on our bracelet “One More”. Instead of the rods of colored plexiglas, Jan is somehow going to place gemstones in the bracelet. I [...]
Product designer aka beekeeper

This is the most amazing, optimistical (eco-food) development I came across in a long time … I always found bees interesting and I think it a wonderful progression more and more young people become interested too. Do you know was that in big cities like Montreal, London, Paris and New York a whole Urban Beekeeping [...]

First flight

Not as much as in the picture, but on my daily walk with the dogs I saw many newly fledged young starlings. Every year we have a few nests under the roof tiles of our house, first you hear the starlings build their nests, you hear nothing for a while and then sure enough as [...]
