About Me

My photo
Hi I'm Laura Hickman. Writer, sewist, baker, fairytalemaker. When I'm not writing a delicious fantasy with my husband Tracy Hickman, I'm up to my elbows creating with yarn, frosting, cloth, or paint. I love playing with my grandkids, outdoor photography & travel. Join me at http:// bakingoutsidethebox.com as I share my creations including my Baking Outside the Box mix method for all sorts of fabulous desserts. Invictus by William Ernest Henley, is my favorite poem. Especially the final stanza: It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.

Fall Uphill




I suppose one doesn't say happy Guy Fawkes Day? Probably not. Here are a few pictures I took on a Sunday drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon recently. We went as far as Albion Basin. (The July wildflower pictures.) I took some pictures of the meadow in it's autumn state, but they are so forlorn that I just can't present them here. (They cut down my favorite dead trees and mowed some of the meadow! Horrors.) Instead, I've included my favorite 'autumn-aflame' shots. Also, something I'd never seen before, but perhaps you have...Aspens turning red instead of the traditional yellow. I could not resist two brag shots of 1-month-old William with his parents. And lastly, two shots Tracy took of me with the first glimpse of our new baby, err...book, Eventide. Happy Fall all!

  3. Nursing a cold today. And I looked at your pictures - and felt again that sort of floating, yearning feeling that comes with Autumn. It goes too fast. But then, I get exhausted, worrying about wasting a minute of it. The aspens - I missed them. Thank you for catching them for me. And the baby? Amazing, aren't they? And he looks SO cheery. The book. Shoot. I need a book right now. Beautiful. I'm going to try to get to your house in December some time and visit. If you have the time. Sniffle.
