Garden Seed Starting!

I Can't wait for spring and summer! I'm so excited
for my garden this year. I'm expanding and adding
so many more wonderful veggies!

Coffee Bookmarks!

I'm pretty fond of books marks and I love coffee. So I
thought the two together would be great. I stained
both sides of a natural piece of paper and then went
and got it laminated.

I love coming across videos that
just spark your soul. Passion is
so contagious.
May your mind be a mansion
for all lovely thoughts to dwell.

Re-Discovering....

I love coming across music i've not
heard in quite sometime. I've been so fond
of Nico for many years. She created some of the
most hauntingly exquisite music. Chelsea Girl is
my favorite of her's. The sound and texture of this album
is just unreal.



I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

The Beast God Forgot To Invent....

Jim Harrison is a fantastic writer. He is new to me and this
is the first book i somehow came across. The praise for this man
is undeniable. I constantly am reading with a highlighter, loving all the
crazy good quotes.

"The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss
away your life on nonsense."
"We're not supposed to be trapped by our shelters
but we are."
"I could fall in love like the great Picasso did over and over, buy
a hundred Viagra pills, and blow out my heart making a sensual
stew, which sounded like the best plan yet."

Overcast, Rainy Days...

One of my favorite albums to listen to on rainy days.
I don't know what it is about it? Just does it for me.



Down came the sky
And all you did was blink
I would cry like I never do
In order to stay true
But everybody has their own opinion on such
They're all much alike alike alike
One hundred of a million is worth penning dead down
So why am I writing to the moon?

Down came the sky
to whack us to attack
While we cried in-between our cheeks
I was red and bleak
We often joke it's over but it's never enough
I take it you are afraid afraid
of everything I am and of some things I am not
A fear I share before I go to bed

When tears are pretzels pouring down each time the sweetness is returning
at times when you appreciate that you survived

Tricks tend to track you down
Even when you're high
It's the reason they made it all easier
You'll never know the hit
Tricks they track you down
Tricks they track you down

Down came the sky
And everything went black
I saw you, you saw me
And you were naked, which was weird
But in that space in time we played the strangers again
In oceans of oh I see I see
When my words lost their meaning on their way to your door
yours lost their way out of your

I don't want to want you to go
But I think you've left me without options
Things that you should know by now
That I never told

Tricks tend to track you down
Even when you're high
It's the reason they made it all easier
You'll never know the hit
Tricks they track you down
Tricks they track you down

Iceland...


I love Iceland. I've always wanted o disappear there.
The land is so vast and rugged, absolutely encompassing.

Things i love this morning...


My french press! I had forgotten how delicious
press coffee was!




My Sundance mug. Gotta love things that are
made by hand.



Dan! Damn I love this musician. He is truly a gem.
One of the most talented guitar players alive.

When The Night Comes lyrics
When the night comes
And you lay your weary head to rest
No more trials, no tests
When the night comes
When the night comes
You don’t have to be afraid
Of any choice you made
When the night comes

Don’t be afraid
You’re only dreaming…(repeat)

When the night comes
The headlines read
Whatever’s in your dreams
When the night comes

When the night comes
And you lay by the one you love
The one who knows you and the things you do
When the night comes

Don’t be afraid
You’re only dreaming…(repeat)

When the night comes…(repeat)

My first night with Jessie...


Jessie is a guitar my dad bought after his mother died.
He named it after her. It's a limited edition Gibson.
It is incredible to play!
