Catch me if you can, I'm going back....

 

Taking the summer off is a tradition with me.....I need time to plant and gather, and soak up some sun, and see the wide water of the planet.  I need to see the naked stars and the big moon.
It takes a lot of juice to charge me for the hard-working 9 months that are to come on .
there's changes a-brewing....there's lots of good vintage to come for the fall and winter and spring....and all my handmade projects are coming along...
The big debut will come about mid-August.
Catch me if you can....I'm going back.
But first ....let's take a mid-summer trip to Sugar Mountain...via the Neil Young Express.....

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain ....With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain....
 Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, you're leaving there too soon.
It's so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad.





Now you're underneath the stairs
And you're givin' back some glares
To the people who you met
And it's your first cigarette.


Now you say you're leavin' home
'Cause you want to be alone.
Ain't it funny how you feel
When you're findin' out it's real?

summer vacation

means one must pack a suit case...and decide what to take. I always take a bit too much, because I don't know exactly who I will be....what mood, other than happy to be on vacation, will I be in. I always default to tomboy and comfort...that means cowboy boots, Converse, jeans, Tshirts, silver and turquoise. Oh wait, that's pretty much my daily uniform.

Sunny California ! look...Willows and Stockton get a Dot, but not Napa (not yet!)
