We all got holes to fill  
And them holes are all that's real  
Some fall on you like a storm  
Sometimes you dig your own  
The choice is yours to make  
Time is yours to take  
Some dive into the sea  
Some toil upon the stone  
Well, to live's to fly awe low and high  
So shake the dust off of your wings  
And the sleep out of your eye  
Awe, shake the dust off of your wings  
And the tears out of your eye

things that are baked

This is the pie Kelly and I made with cherries out of Wallingford front yards. I actually really like both of our toes in this picture too.

Here is bread I made from the spent grains of Kelly and Zacks beer. It's lovely and fluffy. I froze some and I'm taking some to Nick who works at the barn. He works so hard and is alone most of the time, he gets some bread.

Henry's Birthday

We celebrated Henry's b-day with ice cream cake.

Jefe was excited. This kid gets so rowdy when he gets any sugar. It's a riot.

Looking awesome

Looking cutely awesome

Quandary Peak

We have a new name: FullBeards and the 7 Utes. Here are a few of us at the summit of Quandary Peak, 14,365 feet above sea level. What a beautiful place. The crew did great getting up the mountain. I was impressed by all of them.

Me and Jefito.

Jefito, his favorite line is "You never let me do noting!" (spoken in a Mexican acccent).

the 90's are alive in Portland

Well, the first thing we had to do was get sunhats to protect us at the brew fest. The sun was out in a wonderful way and the beer was a'flowin. I met a lot of Kelly's friends from school. I also did A LOT of tattoo watching, it will be hard to resist getting many many tattoos while we're there. I think that Portland will be good. It's a good feeling to not feel so lost within a city. I'll take you on a bike tour when we get there.




this was the bike corral at the festival, thought it would make you smile.









And here's me tonight. Post shower and post ramen noodle. I'm a sleepy bear and may lay in bed reading cannery row until I fall asleep.

and here's a surprise, I'm listening to Josh Ritter: "Time love, time love, it's only a change in time"

Fullbeards and the 7 utes

Here's the crew. they've been aweseom. We went on a little hike on our first full day together. This is us in front of Clark Mountain, near Ranger Lakes. They worked their butts off all week, so we took them to Vedauwoo for some R&R.

Here we are eating lunch at the North Sand Hill dunes, near Walden, CO. Colleen is the cheese ball.

Here's the view from Green Peak in Vedauwoo. this is one of my favotite places I've been to yet. I can feel the good energy in this place. It's like Joshua Tree with pine forests and a little gnarlier rock.
