Siebert and Rice Annual Sale

Siebert and Rice makes the best terra cotta urns, vases and garden statuary. Their website is not very buyer-friendly, since you need to email them to obtain a price list and cannot order directly from the website. However, their annual sale is this weekend in Somerset, New Jersey. Their wares are among the best, highest quality terra cotta we have seen. They are made in Italy using time-tested techniques by skilled craftsmen. And they are frost-proof, so good for those cold Adirondack winter days and nights. Check out the website at www.siebert-rice.com. The details of the sale are as follows:

This photo was taken when I was first learing to waterski. I was using Cypress Gardens trainers, as you can see from the way the rope is tied to the skis. I think I used these only once or twice, and they have been sitting in the boathouse ever since. Our good friend and annual Penwood guest for many years, Jeff Watson, took this picture (I think). He is an excellent photographer and gives us a photograph every year, which hang in Penwood and Nina's Camp.
