Strawberry shortcake festival!!! And my tummy is rumbling from too much whipped cream and fresh strawberries. I have a painted face and the tunes of old-timey bluegrass in my ears still. I hope the sun stays out tomorrow, and it will continue to be warm, warmer than today ( Read more... )

It's Sunday night, I'm in Santa Cruz, in the small chalet we call the library. I'm waiting for my stupid phone to charge, as it is not charging properly.... Anyway, It's lovely here on the farm. We have fresh strawberries now, and arugula and kiwis. The fog is up though, so it's a bit cold and I'm not looking forward to the cold air in my tent ( Read more... )

They're just machines for god's sake! I wish I was more computer saavy now, and knew how to do all this stuff easier. It's a very frustrating thing. And what's the point really? To ( Read more... )

I am ( Read more... )

Very flat which is kind of unnerving, wind and frost, and brick and corn. We had a great drive here, lots of good conversation, music, interesting people, run-ins with the law......

All of the Aspens are golden on the mountain, the apples are crisp and juicy on the trees, the smell of juniper smoke is in the air. It's Autumn here.

It snowed here yesterday...... the begining of winter and it isn't even fall. What the hell am I going to do this winter??? one day at a time, one day at a time :)

adventure this weekend to the "Death Box Hollow" I'm excited, finally get to go on a backpacking trip, after all summer here.

Things are good here, very good.

It's a grey day here, Erin and I are sitting at the Kiva coffehouse looking at the giant pumpkins and waiting for it to rain, along with the pumkins who have turned thier leaves into little green cups. I skinned and seeded a lot of green chiles today, and served some difficult bikers ( Read more... )
