The squash planted! To the sound of thunder and the blessing of rain.
With two small kids it's been a crazy year, the tractor constantly breaking hasn't helped either. Perseverance wins in the end.

With everything going on in life this year, one of my focuses is to stress less. Part of this is to witness what is and respond appropriately.

Cool, just checking, one has to check these days.
Thanks for your interest in my music and being actively interested in freedom and living in the realms of improvisation.

These are a parasitic orchid, in the woods near my home.
It's so interesting to see what I view when I slow down.
I often like to close my eyes while walking the paths. All of my other senses really open up their perceptions.

This has zero to do with my note. Take your promotions elsewhere.
If you're interested in improvised music, Deep listening, and freedom then you may be into this. There's more on my youtube channel.

Parenting has been an amazingly transformative experience. 12 years in, here's some of my thoughts.

I'm going to sell a lot to the local high-school.
This is about to be a squash patch. Just need to lay down the plastic mulch, burn the holes, and plant.

My 12 year old daughter made this pack basket and tanned the rabbit hide at her school.
So many things to learn.
Some days I think this is my super power.

Tending, this may be one of the best reframings I have found.

Messing around my kiddo who wanted to play with a photo of me.

Not all spatulas are built the same. There's got to be a joke here, anyone find it??
Finding the cracks in the day to accomplish my personal tasks. Between family, work, and farm it's a full life.

I'm going to be setting up the first phase of my aquaponic system this summer too.
9 rows of potatoes put in, that's 450 feet of potatoes. A little after work project today. I covered the whole area with calendula seed too. There's also a comfrey patch in the left corner of the photo, pretty close to a type 1 mistake.

The apples are blossoming, and the bees are pollinating.
