Where I create is near latitude 45 degrees north in Northern Vermont. My wife, Sarah, and I have separate workshops and studios on our property, which are on the other side of a small stream—a seasonably changing short walk through a hay meadow, across an arched walkway. For about half the year, you can look out from one of our workshop windows and see a blanket of white snow, backed by leafless grey trees and evergreens. As most know, Vermont means green mountains, thus the other six months are all shades of green everywhere, except in the fall when the leaves amaze with vivid yellows, oranges and reds. Being a woodworker, it is nice to be located north of the “termite zone,” though we do however still have challenges from the beavers and carpenter ants.
