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.

tiny desk concert

irish pub performance

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

♥

veedon fleece

another favorite van morrison album: this one

if you only listen to one song,

make it the last one.

takes me right back here

we stood and watched the river flow

we were too young to really know

we laid out in the long green grass

and never thought that it would pass

we counted pebbles in the sand

sand like time slippin' through our hand

in sweet summertime

side one

side two

st. dominic's preview

do you know this album?

wow, it takes me back.

i always think of it on this very day,

when it's almost independence day.

do yourself a favor...

pour yourself a drink,

sit outside,

and listen to the whole album.

side one

side two

happy almost independence day.

headed out now to buy some
