the frolic architecture of the snow

we finally got snow! just a little bit, but at least it finally feels like winter around here.





bobey's first snow day...he was amused, startled, annoyed, delighted, wild.


now to cozy up with these silly boys and rest up before a very exciting weekend.

oh,
and the best news!
jorden and becky had their baby...it's a boy!

Yay, for snow! I was getting so envious of your false spring, thinking it would last forever, or at least until it turned to summer.

Have the most awesome weekend, and Congratulations Jordan and Becky!
XOXO

You got snow!!! I can only imagine how much Adie has!! That tail, that fluffy furry friend of yours is way too sweet. What a fun fellow to share your excitement with. Becky had her boy - is there no name and facts that go along with this wonderful news?! What a Merry holiday for Placerville xo

I know, right! We've been tracking the weather most zealously down here, and I have to admit, in spite peril on the roads I felt a little tingle of excitement over the idea of snow. Ah well...Hope you're having the most fun tonight, Missa and I are internetsing and Lucas and Charlie are reading. As for Clover: she's sound asleep. See you tomorrow! (Can you hear the giddy excitement in my voice?)

I wish you had video of your kitty in the snow- I've never seen one in that weather- that would be kind of funny! Congrats to your friends on their sweet baby boy! That sign "o boy" is too freakin cute!!!! xx and Happy Sunday!!!

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..."

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!

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
