missing her

yesterday was missy's birthday.

last night,

returning from a fun roadtrip to utah,

with the just-past-full moon at our backs,

i was able to share her story

and this song with some new friends.

{also here}

i love you, sweet girl.

♥

lo and behold

this month, i've been busy.

i have a couple new projects i'm working on.

{more on those later}

as a result,

some things are late

{new year's cards, coming soon!}

and others have been quite neglected

{ahem, this blog}.

this amaryllis, which i never potted,

just tossed into my basket of produce,

is bearing blooms of forgiveness.

it's all okay.

more nickel creek

from last night...

they also played this song, which i love

the video above is from 1999,

but they've been playing together

since they were little kids.

this photo is from around 1990

♥

nickel creek!

headed here

listening

here's some of what i'm listening to

while i'm walking/slash/running

what are you listening to?

♥

flashing back

i'm feeling a little spooked.

in a good way.

i was searching for a video of sugar magnolia

to go along with ned's tie-dye for yesterday's post,

and i found these 3 shows that i saw long ago

at alpine valley in east troy, wisconsin.

it was amazing enough to find all three shows,

and then i looked at the date...

25 years ago today

{look for me in the crowd}

note: this video switches at 35:00 to the show on the 19th,
then switches back.

25 years ago tomorrow

25 years ago saturday

♥

p.s. i just have to mention,

part of what makes this so mind-blowing,

is that when i made my way down

to section 1, row RR,

there was someone sitting in seat 121.

in 5 years, he would be emily's dad.

tie dye

ned made this at the library last week

so this seemed in order
