Hey, Look, it's Tom and Traci....but more importantly...It's Thomas with a TAN (which could only mean he's living near the SUN!)

I'd Like to Thank my Mom for the "Green Thumb" Gene

My gardens are overflowing with buds, blooms, and fragrance.
Before the torrential rain came I spent an afternoon intentionally walking the stone path weaved throughout the beds. I was again impressed by the tenacity of seemingly fragile things that not only survive our harsh coastal winters, but thrive & multiply as they await the Sun's gift.

I've been spending more time just admiring the diversity of the plants and noticing just how quickly they change––small buds, bigger buds, just opening, fully open, bursting blooms, petal by petal drop away...and I turn around just in time to see a whole new plant begin it's similar cycle.


Really, Sun, I need some of your time shining on these beauties...then I'll pass the day away reading, smelling, and smiling on that weathered wooden bench in a sea of color

Colby, Here She Comes...

CONGRATULATIONS, MARIAH!



Honoring all your accomplishments, successes, struggles, triumphs...and all you haven't even dared to dream yet!

Damn!

I went searching for new tunes to make lawn mowing less like creating crop circles, and to my delight heard a new (to me) Rob Thomas song. I'm never coming down off the mower!

Don't get me wrong, ladies...This is strictly a MUSIC CRUSH!
You know when an artist gets under your skin and can make you feel like dancing, singing, swaying, sighing, and/or riding your mower over every neighbors lawn just to keep the momentum going and learn every lyric before the gas runs out!

Really, Rob and I are strictly platonic!

Full Moon Fiest

If I hear one more skeptical, traditional educator or smart ass ignoramus give unsolicited comment on how my kid and other young home-based-learners are disadvantaged socially due to the isolated lifestyles imposed through a pedagogy they obviously know jack about,

well...I might be drawn to the dark side of mothering and....

A Truly Heart Centered Couple...

Wes escorted Mariah to her Senior Ball and as is their usual "style" they were stunning together. Mariah's dress style you might recognize if you saw Keira Knightly in Atonement...and Wes, well you be the judge...!!

We Certainly Got a Bang for Our New York Film Academy Buck$$$

Another FUN, FUNNY, movie by Wes Sterrs (and our surrogate son, Pender)

Wes and Pender have entered "Late Fees" in a local film competition with the Belfast Filmmaking Group. The screenings will be Thursday, June 3rd...This film seems to have a big following and surprisingly most of the cast (with the exception of Stella, she's got another gig,) and many local viewers plan on attending said screening in hopes of voting, cheering, and cinching a WIN!

Best of luck to the cast and crew and creators of "Late Fees"
