Today a very famous designer and teacher, Cat Bordhi posted and I realized that she had named her blog site – “Dearest Freshness Deep Down Things.“ Well, this […]
There is something incredibly awesome about this place. There are no mountains – just high land and lake – huge lake and rock – so much rock that you wonder if there is anything else except rock and trees and water. It was when I went to see the pictographs that I realized what else
