And the number is 165
•The first is a small eagle head for a transom eagle—the head is attached to the body after most of the body is carved. The feathers around the neck and chest are carved as details. When finished and painted or gilded, it all looks like one piece.
• The second is Max in full uniform on duty guarding the house.
• My first in-laws house on the coast of Maine. Just above the cove where Pysche swung at a mooring, in the real town that I set my semi-fictional adventures with the Cap’n.
•The greenhouse/workshop as it looks most February mornings.
• A shot of a carved mantlepiece at the Strawberry Bank Museum in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Max looks so official. I won’t distract him by telling him that, though. Who’s a good boy?!
He knows!
Max now Bear and Teddy want uniforms.

I love the patina on your workbench. And all those beautiful hand tools make me nostalgic for my husband, who had them all.
Well patina is one word for it. Some woodworkers spend time scraping it off. I just leave it.
But, Judy, In your photos I see the evidence that you live your daily life surrounded by the lovely things your husband created. What a wonderful tribute to him and his creative spirit.
