Here, in some 15,000 square feet, he worked, occasionally slept and often entertained.

The Stickwork of Patrick Dougherty
Travel always yields delightful discoveries and my trip last week was no exception. An unseasonable cold spell in Virginia and North Carolina made our spring-like last day even more enjoyable.
