Friday Feeling Right!

I wasn't going to post today but the sun has revealed itself and I have a new painting too.  Mostly I made is while watching a lochness monster special on the history channel.  So I decided to call it 'lochness plankton'.  Little Iris helped me paint it.  Her swirls of color are in the blue and white.  Ha.



Also, some photos from the week.  Mid week a very sweet visitor dropped by and suprised us with two small tubs of homemade kimchi.  So C made kimchi soup with tempeh.  Thank you serendipity!



And random round the homestead shots.








And thhhe hikes I took with Ivy 1999-2000.

i can hear the juice

here's a painting i made yesterday afternoon.

It's a kind of golden mist

just got back in the wee hours of the morning!  it was a good good trip.

the water is tasting like rhubarb

(all above images not mine)

waking up at 4 am today was totally cool.  just like the day before at 2:30 am, which was rad.

ready for swimming holes to cool my heels!  don't now if i'll find any sweet watering spots to splash around in but we do have a sweet getaway trip/ reunion planned this weekend with c and the kidz, mini-trip to wisconsin! 

and 

Below is an old photo (2004) by C of your's truly and Luke the one half of whom we're on our way to see come Saturday!  Luke and Risa are da' best.  So stoked, my mom! (inside joke)  Pretty lucky they'll be close by enough while they're visiting the Mid-West that we get a chance to see them.  It's been a year!  Last June we saw them on our way to LA from Portland, Oregon.  When we rode thru SF...  Anyway looking forward to more Mid-Western adventures as we leave for Wisconsin to see Luke and Risa Saturday afternoonz.

Have a rad weekend.
