The 2nd Annual Farm Art Show

If you know what this show is, then its likely you've been blessed in some regard by the likes of Amy Courtney and Freewheelin' Farm. If you've no idea what I'm talking about then your in for a sweet treat!

Last year Amy and myself put our mischievous heads together to figure out a way to generate some extra funds for the farm, pay me in the process, and accomplish all this by having the most fun possible. The result...The Farm Art Show. See, I'm an artist, she's a farmer, and we know how to throw a swanky party on a farm right next to the tool shed and the duck palace. I had long wanted to have an art show myself, and had been mulling the idea over for quite some time. So when Amy and I decided to take her end of the CSA season party to a new level, it was a natural jump for us to combine our individual talents with our love for our community, throw in a few musicians, some organic brew, farm fresh tasties, and only the best art and farm folk around, and wha'la we've got the Farm Art Show Extravaganza. It was such a glowing success we knew we couldn't disappoint our loyal fans by not hosting such an event this year.

So its back and we're really excited about it. This year promises more art, more wine tasting, more live music, more gourmet food, more beer from the Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing Co., and several more surprises. We hope you will make this a yearly celebration with us, so put it on your calendar for the first Sat in Nov.

day 2 and still new

Good morning, oh, I guess its already ll, the morn is almost over. I have just been traipsing around the internet looking for interesting blogs to inspire the formulation of my own. Thanks to Megan (my 1yr long sister in law) for introducing me to dooce.com, it lightened me up and made me feel wonderfully irreverent! And it also reminded me how satisfied I am not living in LA anymore.

I created this sight yesterday and was instantaneously addicted. Who wuda thunk it? That I could create a site of my very own "in just 5 min" they said. Actually it was closer to 3 hours. I'm the kind of person that makes an effort to read the directions. But usually around half way through I get lost or bored and find myself skipping ahead, telling myself to just figure it out as I go. It usually works.

So I'd like to place a warning here to the sweet friends and family that make up my small fan club, to bear with me as I blunder my way through the construction of this sight and of my business in general. I expect I'll be making some rather dramatic changes over time. So please don't be dismayed just enjoy the change of scenery as I sort out whats going on in my head.

Open Studio and Home Gallery #1

Thanks to everyone who made it out for my first open studio-home gallery showing. I had a lot of fun putting this on with the help of big D! All the love and support my community comrades brought me only fired me up to do this again soon! So keep an eye out for upcoming shows.
