hermana de mi corazon






i just stayed up late (darin's on graveyard shift) watching the most amazing movie, Cria Cuervos from 1976 directed by Carlos Saura. it has everything i love, ghosts and sisters and imagination and heartbreak and sass. if you've got four and a half minutes, watch this clip...this song is now permanently stuck in my head and i'm kinda glad about that, especially after what starts to happen right around 2:08



aaaaannnnd after the CRAZY AMAZING post addie wrote yesterday that started about aging and fertility but turned into an all-out celebration of our sisterness and friendship and love and our amazing journeys over the years, i'm feeling pretty damn sisterly at the moment.


life is bliss when you have a sister to share everything with, pure and simple. to share all those crazy experiences that give your soul the truest beauty. and if not a sister, then a cousin or a mama or your sweetest girlfriend...you all know what i mean.

(that's us eight years ago ! )

I love my sister so much, especially since she's in her third year at MIT in Boston. You'd think she could be a smarty pants on the west coast but, no.

Thanks for the movie suggestion, I'll see if I can find it.
Hugs and kisses and I sent you an e-mail :)

When I read Addie's post (that sidebar-thingy is so handy) it literally brought tears to my eyes. You're both so blessed to have each other. I know, just know in my heart that things will work out for you both the way they should because you have each other for support. Not to mention that web of womyn around you.

Oh...and I can't wait to meet her ;)

I read Addie's post; I was right, you are a special shooting star in this universe. So glad to have 'met' you Ms Heather. Whether you realise it or not, your joy in life translates well in your writing; I believe your exuberance just floats of the page touching everyone who reads it.

Hablas Espanol, or were there subtitles? You crack me up!!! :D That was a rad little clip, and I've gotta go over and check out what addie wrote about! So glad you get to experience that sisterly love. I have a sister who is 8 years younger and we don't see each other very often, but when we do... we pick up right where we left off! I love her and my brother dearly!!! Happy Wednesday lil' Mama :D

You and Addie are really something special. I loved reading her post about the two of you. So sweet and raw and heartfelt, there is magic in your family Heather and it's a wonder to behold.

Also, I'm sold on that movie from the clip :)

WOW!!! That was pretty much amazing!!!! I just commented on Addie's blog too! You two are amazingly sweet together- though I could tell already. I was talking to Anne about this "blogging circle" the other day and I mentioned how genuine you are and how easily it shines through you. After reading Addie's post, I can see I was right on the mark! Nice to know a gal like yourself!!! :D

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r...

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

Image
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here! That lu...

handmade homes take to the open road

i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep ...
