I mean, it just shouldn’t be so hard to keep up with this thing, but life keeps happening and I keep getting sidetracked. I actually have a somewhat good reason for being away this time, I had yet another surgery due to those pesky fibroids. So the past weeks have been spent preparing and now […]
We’ve Landed
Or I have, or the website has. Whatever, the migration process seems to be done. Hours spent on the phone, massive frustration and annoyance, but hopefully it’ll keep things sorted. Whilst on hold this last time and verifying my site still didn’t look like that of a viagra dealer, I came across my old tumblr […]
New Year, New, I’m Not Sure
A turning of the invisible page. I hope everyone had a safe and happy start to the year. 2018 began in such dramatic fashion and kept up that pace until late Spring, then things seemed to fall apart, as you can see from the lack of posts and clear lack of direction here. I kept […]
Desert Drifter
On the vernal equinox, I spent most of the day doing one of my favorite things, abandoned house hunting in Wonder Valley. The weather was perfect, as were the clouds. I’ve amassed quite the collection of photos of these homesteads over the past few years. The crazy thing is, I’m not even close to having […]
Coming Back Around.
Greetings and Salutations, I’m writing from my bed, just over a week post op. I’ve had what by all accounts seems to be a pretty remarkable recovery. Even I’m surprised by how well I’m doing and how good I’m feeling. This is me, exhausted but feeling the stoke after my follow up appointment on Friday. […]
Oh Hey
Updates have been few, mostly due to lack of time. Life has been coming at me in hyper speed and I haven’t been able to stop. Today was the first time in a long time that I did absolutely nothing. Really though, that’s not true because I did have to do some non jewelry related […]
Yucca Brevifolia
I spent the weekend getting very familiar with the Joshua Tree, in another class for my naturalist series. Actually it doesn’t qualify, but not knowing about the Joshua Tree on a more intimate level seemed silly, so I took the class. There are many fallacies that I’ve heard over the past couple years that have […]
New Things
New to me anyway. Holiday season is underway and Santa’s, err my workshop is starting to feel the effects. Also feeling the effects is the weather. With that in the high desert comes, fires and firewood. Last night I built my first fire since Girl Scouts. It took 3 times until I got it right. […]
The Sun Has Shifted
The season most certainly feels like it’s changing now. I’ve been working away on gifts and repairs, meaning I can’t show you too much of my work right now. I took a picture of some repairs I did and was going to post that, but they weren’t very interesting. Instead I give you this picture […]
Doing It to Death
Music Monday is dedicated to the two bands the youngest Miller and I saw on Saturday. We ventured out to Devore, CA, to CalJam and saw The Kills and Queens of the Sone Age. There were a bunch of other bands but we literally waited front and center for the kills for over an hour, […]
