Gifts From Canada

I discovered the Bohemian Girl on the “interwebs – that series of tubes” a couple of months ago. She had commented over at Nothing But Bonfires (yet ANOTHER fantastic woman-made blog/art) regarding music. It just so happened that I was thinking the same thing, and before you know it, an online friendship began. And I am better for it. Not only does BG speak the truth, her truth, and universal truths, but she is an artist living her dream and shining light by way of example.

And I am a bit blown away right now, because as we had agreed to trade some music mixes, I have JUST received – like, minutes ago – this bundle of joy that you see above, and it is wonderful and gorgeous. Just to touch the paper and see the artistic love that went into this…It definitely helps me to raise my own bar in how I ever send CD’s to anyone again, because not only did I get amazing compilations of music I know and love and much that I am soon to discover for the first time (oh, joy!) but handmade artwork to hold the treasures. Wow. Thank you, oh talented and generous Bohemian Girl. Rock on!

She Has Her Moods

It was overcast tonight, but the frogs didn’t mind. They have a full Saturday night jam goin’, and they literally take turns solo’ing. (how does one write that word?) Anyway, I tried to record it with the handy and super-cool Edirol R-09. Man, you should hear it…and I really wish you could…I really tried, but apparently did not get close enough to the lagoon. Next time…

Enjoy the lunar love!

Happy First Full Moon of Summer (Almost)

This view of the moonrise is seen most every night from our couch. Of course, I removed me back side to take the picture. I know it’s ambitious, but it really only took a sec… I love the green of the tree and blue of the night sky. Do you see the lone star?

***UPDATE***Well, it seems that the full moon is not officially until Saturday evening, June 30th. My bad. More pictures to come Saturday night.
