Another reason that I sell vintage tyepwriters! This is a fabulous idea. Funny coincidence...we were just talking about long bike trips and the plans about making them...
It is the journey that gives the story worth...

::VGMB Earth Day::
Earth Day at our friends farm. We go here every year for the past...maybe 5 or 6 years I think. The bear marks the beginning...
It poured for most of the day but, we were snug inside the barn with friends and good music!
Chris our favorite sound man. He's at all the shows and sound by him is perfection! He's listening here and making sure it sounds just right...he closes his eyes when he's checking!
VanGordonMartin Band! Wonderful music...amazing guitarist Van...hornplayer Derek...Brian Sayers is on Drums in the back...
No Limit to Love...

simple gatherings
Oh my...Kinfolk arrived yesterday. Simple gatherings with friends.
Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity. ~Charles Mingus
Kinfolk is simply wonderful, delicious, lovely...it is how I want to live each moment. If you haven't seen it...I don't say this often...you must have a peek. Kinfolk can be found here. To compliment this gorgeous work are beautiful films that Kinfolk has put together. Below is just one of them.

First Pizza....
We tried out the wood-fired pizza oven tonight. Emma made a spinach, goat cheese, garlic and tomato pizza. It was delicious! We still have some finishing to do on the oven but, we were anxious to try it out. It was a pretty chilly New England evening here...fall has finally arrived.
Finished!

Old Crow Medicine Show. The lighting storm began just as their set started.

Balloon Glow lights up the festival grounds. This was spectacular. They all took turns lighting up and flashing on and off and there were fireworks in the background. Donna the Buffalo closed out the night in the Dance Tent. A storm was a brewing and lightning grew more severe. We watched some of the set and hoofed it back to our vehicle...only to wind up hearing the band play throughout the rest of the storm while we sat in an hour of traffic trying to get off the festival grounds. We were amazed that they let the band continue to play. In all our years of festival attendance at many, many venues...never before have we seen a festival allow a band to continue to play through an electrical storm...very dangerous. Other than that we had a great time. The festival grounds were lovely. We didn't love that there was no low seating up front...everyone setup large chairs, right up front. We're used to festivals that either provide a space for low seating folks up front or else it's just standing room only. This didn't feel particularly considerate to people that just brought in blankets or very low backjack chairs. I think they should change this...it'd make for a more comfortable festival...allowing more folks to see...section it off. I also think all umbrellas should be set up in back..plenty of umbrellas were smack dab in the middle of the field blocking many folks view of the stage. I say all of this as constructive feedback as a festival goer and someone that paid for their ticket as well.
