Loving Life

You know I love creating music in so many ways. One of my dreams has been to have a recording set-up just to create as the moment occurs. Well, check that off my list.

Let’s see: Guild acoustic, Martin electric acoustic, Ibanez hollow body for jazz, Yamaha twelve string for fun, Epiphone banjo – to

Let’s see: Guild acoustic, Martin electric acoustic, Ibanez hollow body for jazz, Yamaha twelve string for fun, Epiphone banjo – to learn a new instrument, Cubase for recording multiple tracks, mic for voice and instrument recording, headphones to listen to guitar track while recording voice overlay, interface to laptop, mini amp for space.

I have also begun creating electronic tracks of beats, cymbals, myriad sounds of all kinds. What wonderment of surprise as each new creation comes to life. From my ear to recording to ear.

Galaxy or What?

Sometimes it is just fun to see what can be seen at a different level of view. Can you guess what it is? Galaxy, night sky with a filter?

or is it just a closer look at something interesting? Beets from the garden.

Rainbows, Hail, and Flowers, of course!

I have never seen the two ends of a rainbow at the same time. Here are two events that happened in the last few days.

Of course, in order to get a rainbow, you must have a little rain….and hail!

 

Where there is rain, there are also flowers!

Rain also can bring lightning…huge lightning.  Lightning that hit a tree about 50 feet from my RV.  Yup, scared the bejesus out of me. The split down the entire tree to the base. And the wind blew down thousands of trees in the area.

Tibetan Carpet

When I started wholesaling crystal in gift shows in Canada in the mid-seventies, I would meet characters from all over the world. There were so many interesting stories about their travels and the products they discovered and brought back to sell for a profit. One world traveler spent quite some time in Tibet.

He brought back hand woven carpets that were pieces of art, not be used for walking on. I have kept this for many, many years. Recently, I let it join the collection of worldly possessions which I have let go to make way for a smaller footprint.

He also imported beautiful hand painted lacquer boxes. Gold paint and hand lacquered over with their fingers, not a brush or spray.

Introducing Clara Sophia

The role of parents is to give unconditional love and do whatever it takes to increase every child’s self-esteem. I am so proud of my daughter Mary and Clara. What a journey the universe brings to spiritual beings.

First Sleep Out!

There ain’t nothing better than the first sleep out of the season. Takes me back to great times as a child. Whether it’s a hammock or a mattress on a veranda, looking at the stars just before I close my eyes, and then to wake up and look up to see the stars again…sweet life itself. And when I play my new Martin in the candle lit darkness, a total feeling of contentment soothes me.

  And then in the morning, to shower outside, umm….so relaxing. I love warm weather at Hyco.

Spring Babies!

With Spring comes the newness that blankets the world with hope. Canadian geese slowly traverse the lake, looking very proper and I imagine they are the guardians of the lake. So many chicks this year.
