Tom took last Friday off and we went to Seattle to do the Seattle Clock Walk. We had a wonderful time exploring our favorite city. There are 29 clocks on the walk, and it takes an hour and a half of brisk walking to see them all. We don't walk briskly, and sometimes we find other things to look at, so we'll be going back another day to see the many clocks we didn't get to. We got in several hours of fresh air and fun together and would recommend the tour to anyone looking for an adventure. Here's Tom standing in front of the clock outside F.X. McCrory's in Pioneer Square. We talked to the man standing behind the clock; they'd had a power outage and he was waiting to correct the clock's time. He told us that the clock used to sit in front of the court house in Nome, Alaska. Some of the clocks were on posts, some were on buildings, some were inside buildings. The information we got from the website gave us all we needed to know to find the clocks. We saw Atlas holding up the world on top of Tiffany's and this question mark on Pine and 5th. We knew that there was a clock on the Times Square building but we couldn't find it, in spite of our trips around the block looking. Finally we gave up and walked on to the next clock. Later, as we were approaching the building from a different direction, we discovered the clock, above the awning that we kept walking under as we looked for the clock! We found a couple to take our picture with the clock in the background. Just as the rain began, we made our way to the car and returned home. Now we're waiting for a sunny Saturday so that we can go back and finish the tour!
An old train station–style clock could be just the thing to give a gray concrete space some charm and character. You cold echo the Victorian-style ironwork in your outdoor furniture, or let the clock stand out against more minimal pieces (my favorite look).

Tasha Tudor est incontestablement une figure atypique, une femme libre telle que je l'entends, apparemment insensible aux modes et aux attraits de la modernité. Tout au long de son existence elle développa sa propre manière d’être, n’hésitant pas à s’habiller comme au XIXème siècle, siècle qui devait très certainement mieux correspondre à son imaginaire. « [...]Elle n'éprouva aucun besoin de vie sociale et préféra rester à la maison. Se sentant parfaitement à l'aise dans son rôle d'artiste, car ‘‘comme artiste on peut se comporter de façon aussi folle ou immorale qu'on le désire, personne ne s'en offusque… ma foi c'est une artiste’’. » « En 1938 elle épousa Thomas Leighton Mc Cready Jr.. Sept ans plus tard le couple partit pour le New Hampshire dans une vieille ferme en ruine datant de 1790, sans chauffage central, sans eau courante ni électricité. Comme l'argent était rare, elle filait et tissait elle-même l'étoffe dont elle confectionnait les habits pour la famille, qui vivait également en autarcie. Tasha Tudor passait de nombreuses heures avec ses quatre enfants, mais elle trouvait cependant encore du temps pour dessiner et peindre, et cela toujours à la cuisine. […]Après le décès de son mari, Tasha Tudor se retira dans le Vermont, dans une maison en bois que son fils Seth, avec son aide construisit entièrement de ses propres mains au début des années 70, construction qui est une fidèle réplique d'une maison du XVIIIème siècle. Le bâtiment est situé tout à fait à l'écart, à environ 3 km de la route principale, au bout d'un chemin de campagne d'1,5 km. Il n'y a aucune autre maison à la ronde et en hiver elle est complètement isolée ; de ce fait toutes les provisions doivent être sous toit en novembre, avant l'arrivée de la neige.[…] » J’imagine quelle fut dotée d’une bonne santé et d’une volonté à toute épreuve, en témoignent les nombreuses photographies d’elle en mère, grand-mère…cousant, filant, tissant… Fine cuisinière, faisant son jardin, coupant son bois, s’occupant de la basse-cour, des chèvres, des vaches, du jardin potager et d’agrément, faisant ses chandelles…Une maîtresse femme par excellence, toujours accompagnée de ses chiens Corgis. Ce qui ne l’empêcha pas de s’adonner à la peinture puisqu’elle illustra près d’une centaine de livres pour enfants. Une âme exceptionnelle, qui abordait simplement les choses de la vie de tous les jours, portant son existence au sommet de l’art d’être en harmonie avec les événements et l’environnement de la nature, rendant évident ce qui est devenu pour le monde d’aujourd’hui - ce qui n’est pas sans laisser songeur et interrogatif quant à ce que représente la modernité -, un domaine distant et étranger. Un retour à l’évidence éclairé par un cœur authentique, aspirant au dépouillement et à la vérité silencieuse de l’instant présent. "It's wonderful to grow old," Tasha Tudor said in an interview. " You can get away with murder. Everyone takes great care of you. And they're afraid of offending you. You can say the most outrageous things and get away with it. I fully believe old age is one of the most delightful periods of my life." -La maternité- “She was totally involved in fantasy. She wanted to live in her own little world,” said Thomas Tudor, the third of the children. “I found that when I was a teenager, it was very difficult to get back into reality.” -Les robes- “Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…” -Etre- "Nowadays, people are so jeezled up. If they took some chamomille tea and spent more time rocking on the porch in the evening listening to the liquid song of the bermit hrush, they might enjoy life more." -La maison- “Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!” -le labeur quotidien- -Peindre et dessiner pour les enfants- "Tasha was not only a writer/illustrator, but she was a homemaker in every sense of the word. She loved handcrafts like weaving, knitting, candle dipping and doll making. She also enjoyed keeping goats and chickens and made cheese from her own goats' milk and cooked delicious, wholesome foods from her eggs and from fruits and vegetables that grew on her land. Every season had its pleasures and its work to be done, and home was the core of Tasha's life's work.". -Cuisiner, coudre, tricoter, tisser, filer, faire des patchworks...- "I enjoy doing housework, ironing, washing, cooking, dishwashing. Whenever I get one of those questionaires and they ask what is your profession, I always put down housewife. It's an admirable profession, why apologize for it. You aren't stupid because you're a housewife. When you're stirring the jam you can read Shakespeare." -Le jardin- Les commentaires de cette vidéo sont en japonais -Les bêtes- - la neige - - La transmission - Les textes ont été glanés sur les sites suivants: Tasha Tudor Tasha Tudor and Family Le musée Facebook Tasha Tudor and family Le monde de Tasha Tudor The Simple Life of Tasha Tudor Les chiens de Tasha Tudor Tasha Tudor Historic Costume Collection Les photographies reproduites sur mon journal ont été aimablement prêtées par Pinterest Je remercie Madame B. qui me l'a fait découvrir.
