Placer-Day in Valen-ville

friday night we were going out on the town for some local music and beers at cosmic.
so i decided to try this "heidi" hairstyle, of which i was rather dubious....
only because anytime i style my hair, bobby pins be damned, it falls down within an hour.
but this held all night, and i had fun following aya's cute instructions while sipping wine.

darin had his little studio set up doing some portraits for epic dust so before we left he took a couple of me in my hair with my boy.

our sweet friends chelsea and jordan looking fly at the door; (jordan spearheaded the benefit.)



we have known this kid since he was a wee lad.
one of the sweetest things about living in a small town.

lady mama set to pop!
officially now a week and a half overdue and we are all (specially beck!) about to burst with anticipation.

baby mingle, come out and play with your friends like adorable Lian, who is already walking before 10 months ?!

joey and em were fabulous. the way they harmonize, it just breaks your damn heart.
they go by Buffalo Bus; you can hear a song or two over here.


and my friend brianna's band...i was enraptured.
i want to hear more more more, i get dizzy

i don't have any pictures of me and darin, or of my pretty dress from that night.
because music and babies and beer stole the show!
but then last night was zack and rebecca's party, ValenTIMES, so there's lots more to come.
and meanwhile, happy lovers day and may every day be a day of LOVE.

Those photos of you are beautiful! It looks like a really fun, colourful, spirited, cozy time...as do all of your times Ms Heather. Baby walking before 10 months? Must be a genius baby I say! my hubs and i have been grumping alot at each other lately...and such sweet timing, things sorted themselves out just right for Valentines Day. Which we forgot. And then remembered. Sweet Day wishes for you and yours.

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 ...
