I try not to post the same news as all the other blogs I read but this is so sad! It was this morning that Jane Magazine will exist no more. The August issue is the last one ever. This sucks. I know that all good things must come to an end, but I have loved this magazine dearly for the last decade, as I grew up with Sassy it was only natural that I would spend my adult years with Jane...and now that time must end, very sad indeed.
I’m so sad!

One of the few perks of living in an idyllic small town is that there are often throwback activities occurring with two blocks of my house. All summer long there is a lovely farmers market with live music, food and artisans proffering their wares every Sat., although I'll admit to walking past it more often then going in, but its mainly due to my getting up so late...well today we also have the pleasure of having the Circus in town! I wish I had a few kids to rent, but as I do not I will be taking Tyler, and enjoying cotton candy in the comfort of a non air-conditioned tent filled with thousands of sticky kids and large, smelly mammals. When was the last time you went to the circus, and one you could walk one block to? Exactly, so off I go...

So I was getting all ready to post a blog about my love of coffee earlier...I watched PCU the other night (again) and one of my all time favorite quotes is when Jeremy Piven wakes up and yells "Coffee, Coffee NOW!!!!" I feel that way when I wake up too...although there is no preppy pre frosh in my room to hand me a mug. Anyway I had not had my morning cup of coffee yet and was trying to upload this lovely cup of diner coffee, oh how I love diner coffee...and I deleted the entire folder of blog pics from the server. Yeah, I was thrilled. I had most of the pics on my computer, but recently I have become lazy and will just pop them on my desktop and then trash them after they are uploaded, so I spent the last hour trying to find all of my images again. Well, at least I have them all saved on my computer as well the server now. Well I will now go and enjoy my coffee, which I finally made and have drank a blissful half cup of...

I have been dealing with all of the above for a few weeks now...I have been living in a constant state of stress and basically freaking out because I took a really big step towards Manic Trouts’ success and I am having a hard time dealing with it. I am now on the direct path to where I want to be with Manic Trout, but I am so scared that I can hardly breathe much of the time. These same fears have been holding me back as well and it was extremely hard to overcome them and make the leap I have taken and now that I have leapt I am so scared that I will fail, but I am marching on and trying to conquer all of my self doubts. I have had the pleasure of discovering that as I take each step with Manic Trout and as I overcome each level of fear and anxiety that surrounds that step, that the accomplishment of overcoming what was holding me back felt almost as great as the step its self. So as much as I am freaked out, I look forward to the challenge of getting over the next mental hurdle I have set up in the way of my success...I'm ready for it, bring it on!

A few weeks ago I posted about well I almost had one of those days today, Yay! As it rained here for the 4th and the restaurant was closed, I had a day full of reasons why I could not run errands, hang out with anyone or even talk to anyone. I had a late brunch with Tyler at the diner, and spent the afternoon in my studio, makin' stuff, cleaning up and enjoying myself. Then I figured that nothing beats stress like working out and I never have enough time to exercise as much as I want...so I lifted weight for 90 minutes and then walked Faye in the drizzle for a bit...since then I have been back in my studio makin stuff. Gilly stopped by for about an hour and hung out while I worked, so I even got to fit in some family time today!
The obsession continues…

I really enjoyed blogging about my fav photogs the other day, so I thought why not keep going? So I am.
To begin with we have the farm equipment photo from which plays into an odd obsession not related to photography. I have collected random bits of discarded farm odds and ends over the years, and when I last moved and had dumpsters at my disposal for weeks I gave in and tossed most of it, in a fit of lightening my baggage if you will. My favorite piece remained however and I have put it to good use on my front stoop as a decoration/door holder...an old metal fan case from a tractor...very sculptural...well this photo makes me love my tractor part even more.
Since we are already on the farm topic I will have to give another nod to I love his work and this one is wonderful.
The last photo from has a similar view to the barbed wire, so I most likely will buy them at the same time. The fence line is beautiful, very beach, very idyllic imagery.
