more photos from open studios

we went out for a second day of open studios. nicole and mike wanted to carry me around. i was as relaxed as one could be....often imitating a sack of potatoes wrapped in an orange fleece. on our walking adventure, we visited the famous round house of somerville. it is in fact a house that is round. and it is in somerville. hence the name. it is a local landmark and is currently uninhabited. the story we most recently heard about it is that it was sold for $1. apparently, the home was in such disrepair that the owner was going to be forced to have it destroyed. but, instead, sold the home to a local family with the condition that they live in and repair it. it's pretty neat and definitely unusual. i hope this story is true and that we get to see this home restored.
