before and after

now the outside done and short of a few fine tuning things, the farm house is complete. 3 weeks, and a new place... its been a haul, but worth having a cozy home in the valley under the stars.

fourth of july.... celebrate.

historically i have been a fourth of july scrooge... never really buying into the hype, the expense, or the excess of it all. for the last 3 years i have been in an emotional flux, wanting to celebrate my nephew at the same time boycott the sky rockets in sorrow. well today in a small town, with a small group of people, amongst groovy friends i found the desire to celebrate life and love. i love you jeremy, push on.
