"you're my obsession..." (think 80's tune... from the decade that being possessive and creepy was hip!)

here's a little glimpse at what's happening in these parts. i'm learning heaps about the healing effects of having one's hands in the earth. (all the babies: gourds, carrots, lettuce, beans, spinach, the nursery. and my pride and joy: the greens bed!)

and the blackbirds have started hanging out in the juniper right by main camp. it gives a little more relevance to my learning "Blackbird" by the Beatles. the sounds here are as dynamic as the weather and the plants: wind to frogs to kingbirds to generators and powertools to, of course, silence. and now blackbirds.
