have you ever seen a mole? they're super cute

it's been a crazy past couple of weeks on the farm but the plants are pushin and soon we'll be at the market basking in the glory of all our hard work and talking to people about things other than roto-tillers and bolting brassicas. my ginger brew is ready in a few days and the kombucha is looking thick and slimey-which is a good thing!! making beer in the pm and oh i can hardly contain my excitement for......
ROAD TRIP!
i'm taking a long weekend and driving to SF for a little holiday from the farm before things really start rollin. my annual meetin up with old friends, lookin at art, drinking yummy coffee (blue bottle this time baby), and gettin my music fix! grass widow at li-po! what?!
last time we were at li-po it was pooring rain and i was trying hard to ignore the annoying bar fly while filling up my empty sake glass with the black water from my socks. i was bored. i was bummed. i love a good prank.
anyway, god i love the farm life but damn i love the city too and i’m so lucky i can have my cake and eat it too. fuck what ya heard!
on the list under "eat good mexican food" are a couple urban farms to visit. people are doing wonderful things between apartment buildings and parking lots (and it isn't just sex or pissin)! check out little city gardens for instance. i love their politics and the fact that their pals always come together to help out. makes my heart cry.
oh and i just watched garbage warrior about michael reynolds-the amazing architect who uses tires and bottles to build the often beautiful but unfortunately named "earthships" or completely self sustainable houses for hippies, forward thinkers, people displaced by natural disasters accross the world, etc. get really inspired! this guy rules!
it's on a farm and it's in a city. a reminder to follow my dreams, be inspired by the dreams of others, and never hang a dream catcher from the rearview mirror in a car. k. never.
