NICK HAUS: I love winter --
http://www.nickhaus.com/2013/01/i-love-winter.html
I love winter -. But not the dismal slushy mess we've had most of the last week. Why not have some lovely snow instead? I really like that it's been colder today. Send more of this, posthaste. I was photographing a few vases in the Little House (which is not heated; it was lovely and frigid in a way that I perversely enjoy), and I needed some flowers to demonstrate scale and use. These pathetic posies were the best thing my frozen garden could produce:. Jane and Lance Hattatt. We have found you quite by ...

NICK HAUS: January 2012
http://www.nickhaus.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
It's been quiet over here, but I'll get you caught up in the next few weeks. I had the great pleasure to spend the beginning of January in Colombia for my godson's christening - both the people and the place were as lovely as I recalled. Truly a great trip. Heliconias sent as a gift from my godson's grandfather, cut straight from the jungle and propped before the entrance to the chapel where he was baptized:. The interior, with Bonnie (surrogate mother) lurking in the flowers:. Okay, ya got me, it's not ...

RIP Agnes Heywood, Dear Grandmother. My dear grandmother, Agnes Kathryn Heywood nee Weiler, died Tuesday at noon. In infancy she survived a bomb blast intended to kill her entire family in Cheyenne, Wyoming, but was ultimately taken down by age. She was 97. In some ways I am like her, but not enough.

NICK HAUS: May 2012
http://www.nickhaus.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
I couldn't have said it better myself. Mr Sendak was at his finest a shtetl Blake, portraying a luminous world, at once lovely and dreadful, suspended between wakefulness and dreaming. In so doing, he was able to convey both the propulsive abandon and the pervasive melancholy of children’s interior lives." here. I hemmed and hawed and finally pulled about 50 thistles from the lawn, but got lazy and left the ones nearest to the fence for another day; this morning, they looked like this:. An Apple a Day.

NICK HAUS: Under the Little House
http://www.nickhaus.com/2013/12/under-little-house.html
Under the Little House. We found many things when we picked the Little House up. To cast new footings. Some we suspected, others were a surprise. Lots of fieldstones, perfect for use in the sloped beds in front of our house. We've got seven. I found this one incorporated into a path last year:. And this one was under a bush:. They're much weathered, having been out for who knows how long - but the others, sheltered. By the building for 170 years, are sharp as stones carved yesterday:. And then this elabo...

The Floors: Still In Progress. This is an area that our floor guy wanted to rip out, if you can believe it; I love the way it has been patched and pieced together. It's the threshold between the entryway and living room, where a wall used to be:. And mid-progress - this is a semi-gloss finish in Vermont Natural Coatings. Which I'll talk more about in a future post. We did two coats in semi-gloss, and the last coat in satin, which is quite dull. Oh, these shrouds . Greg's House in Colombia: Part 2. I'm no...

NICK HAUS: Wild Strawberries
http://www.nickhaus.com/2013/07/wild-strawberries.html
I was originally going to call this post "The Fruits of Our Labors," as it's inspiration was the wild strawberries (ok, not so wild . I did plant them) that are just coming to fruition this year in our yard. Here are the first two, which Steven brought to me one morning for breakfast, laying in a porphyry salt cellar on a Roman marble slab:. And by extension of. Oddly enough, I ran into the closest contender from my life yesterday, at a small grocery store in an even smaller coastal town - cheese curds:.

NICK HAUS: November 2013

Little House: Picked Up and Put Down Again. In the many months since our last update, quite a bit has been happened in the Nick Haus-hold - the latest big action has been an overhaul of the structural systems of the outbuilding, which we have dubbed the Little House. But it had no foundation, was sinking into the ground and the back of the wooden building was buried six inches into the ground for decades. Not so cute. First, they prepared interim support for the building while it was being lifted:.
