CATCHING UP IS HARD TO DO!

Ok, so what have i been up to the last few weeks?  Everything good! Images, gardening, images, framing, building stuff, images, plays, Americana concerts, images, massage, Barn Bar, horse vet, images = burnout!

So i got everything in the garden that was supposed to be in there in April, even with this crappy weather, i still got it in.  I think all those people that used aerosol hair spray in the 70's and 80's ruined the atmosphere so much that we'll never have any 'normal' seasons again.

I planted onions, broccoli, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach, leeks, kohlrabi, all blue potatoes, fingerling potatoes, just to name a few.

 We had a private concert in the barn with Pat DiNizio from the Smithereens:

I took images for  a series of work with Michelle Fimon, a poet and we collaborated to create works for the Civic Theatre lobby. This was pretty much my entire life for two weeks.  We did marathon sessions because we were at the mercy of this weather and shot 5 different shoots in one day!  Then it was back to Austin to shoot another two, then back for the last image on Easter.  All the while trying to work around Michelle and her son being ill at one point (or two). Crazy!  What i won't do for art! Plus i built a whole new framing table in one afternoon just so i could properly frame these images to hang.  Pics of that soon.

 Then it was time to start filming Barn Bar, season four.  And KSMQ came back to finish filming us filming.

Then it was Americana night, so of course we were there for that!

Then we went to see our friend's play FLARE that was at the Civic Theatre's lobby where Michelle and my series were hung.  I took the practice images for this play as well.

And somewhere in between all that- i had a couple photo shoots with a newborn and some kitties:

And then there was Easter.  Where our friends and family came over and we had a real nice evening.  Boy this farm livin' is a lot of hard work!!

Oh, and Maddie's latest column came out in the Exposed magazine:
