Last issue I wrote about the vernal pond (puddle, really) at the foot of our driveway. It has now dried up and the muskrats and mallards have moved on. I enjoyed them while they were here, but now I'm now fighting with the deer over possession of the garden. This photo was taken a few months ago, but things haven't changed much, except the grass is greener and the shoots are more tender. The deer, by the way, are about ten feet from the house. I love the deer, but sometimes when I see the hostas trimmed again, and the peas nipped to the roots I confess I think briefly of venison.

Classes are limited to 3 people and take place in my shop outside Boston. They generally meet once a week for 2-3 hours. The sessions go on as long as students are interested, a few months or a few years.
As students progress, class may become an "open shop" time when they work on their projects and I answer questions and give suggestions as things come up.
