My Dad Had A Barracuda

and i remember this: riding in the back in the deep, deep night with the moon and all the stars and my sister was breathing next to me in her sleeping bag and we were going somewhere but it did not matter.

(me and the barracuda)

I remember that he loved that car.

Sap Action, Boomerangs, Felt, Asthma

~~~~~~

it is pretty much non-stop boomerangs all the time here

sap action shots, very exciting so view with caution

our top taste tester employs the strictest of quality standards

I am still here doing this

My asthma has been bad this week; I hesistate to mention it as I feel that i am beating the horse that died ages ago but I still feel cruddy and the days pass and pass and pass.  I am finally seeing the immunologist this week and have my fingers crossed that she can provide some insight and help.

I am ordering seeds today, this will be good. The kids are happy today and this will be good, too.  We had plans for fun but I cancelled because of my breathing; however, Trev is taking them out for unknown adventures this afternoon and they are content. I am grateful for this.

this is still lovely

and this

You carry it with you, all of it.

some days it lifts you and some days it weighs you down.

Wood Shavings Party Like You Would Not Believe

~~~~~

ready to spring into action

Wood shaving as wedding cake

you look so happy to see me

wood shavings as wall flowers

The aftermath

Sap, Wool, Daily Excitements

It is tree tapping time again and the sap began running this week! We have only tapped 25 trees this year as we don’t want to commit to much time, but that should produce enough to keep us for a year.  I will take pictures when the light is right.

I am felting springy things to distract myself from the snow and the ice and the cold:

Happiness is trading felted things for a new pair of earrings from Duet

Roo says “life is happiness, now let’s eat FOOD”

Jesse says, “please don’t take my picture as I am BUSY!”

(so no pics of him)

I put a nest in my hair and pretend to watch the snow melt

I am bored of myself, the end.

              Dear You, 

This is just to say that winter is not ending

so we make squishy things

and build mouse houses

and decorate ourselves

We made a fourth of July cake on the first of March. 

(If you don’t have frosting in your hair, then you have not applied it with enough passion.)

signed, sincerely, yours truly, love,

                  not coming out until the sun shines

P.S. please send the sun lamp, 3 books on composting, 5 pounds of chocolate and some lip balm soon.
