Hay

The commute between Red Wing and Rochester is very therapeutic, especially between Zumbrota and Red Wing.

The first hay crop was taken last week.  These are small bales, so it is probably a boutique hay for horses.

Fish Market

A recent business trip took us to Seattle.  We were selling new products, pitching new ideas and creating new partnerships.

Space Needle

Seattle is experiencing significant growth. It may have started with Microsoft 25 years ago, but it is now being fueled by Amazon.

Sign-1

We stayed in the Capital Hill district, which is in the middle of all of the action.  It is very expensive to stay in a hotel, so AirBnB is a welcomed alternative.

Sign-3

Most everywhere is walkable from Capital Hill, but if it isn’t, Uber is a terrific shared economy transportation means.

Skillet

The food in Seattle is fantastic and an upscale, yet informal recommendation is the Skillet Diner.

Shoe Museum

Seattle is not without kitschy, and this photo was taken for the benefit of our friends at the Red Wing Shoe Company.

ScrewArt-2

We are so excited to have two pieces of original art by Cynthia Weitzel.  The piece on the left is called “Enculturation” and the companion piece on the right is called “Resilience”. 

ScrewArt-3

Each piece measures 26″x26″5″ (deep) and the medium are screws.  The art is very heavy and because of the dimensionality if the screws, it encourages being touched.

Cynthia is inspired by Andrew Myers, who is another screw artist.  This is a time-consuming process.  Each screw must be mapped and the heights are carefully planned.

It is physically demanding and is hard on the artist, especially if the pieces are large.

ScrewArt-1

We have had these in the front window for several weeks and it literally has been stopping traffic.
