I've been ruminating more on my Blogger site and less on radio lately...it just so easy and clearly I must be so lazy. If you happen to have generous enough to link to me, maybe you would want to update it: www.smallponderings.blogspot.com. I must confess, I'm not ready to see Salon in my rearview, but would gladly run over the radio software and servers repeatedly. Or maybe I just like to have some to complain about.
These are the best of days in the mountains: it gets cool and clear at night, often with big blinding bright moons, then early am mists gather in the hollers, sun rises are blood orange onto a day that warms so its still minimal clothing temperature. The sun gets behind the ridge earlier and earlier, casting these long lovely evening shadows, perfect for a walk after supper in the dusk. I love fall, the slow and steady declining of the year into summer. Of course I like the color too, but it is the changing rhythm of the days that grabs me.
Much work happening as we're getting ready for the fall students arriving Saturday. And around the casa there is the woodpile to be worked on, mowing, end of summer neatening up. Creative work too often takes a back seat. I haven't done any clay lately but will start again soon for a show in early Dec. I did a couple of little paintings yesterday evening, starved to make something (pics on the other site). And I have about 4 projects in various stages of incompletion. This all due to a lack of decent blocks of time. By the time I get to my making, I'm usually tired so all my best energy (mental and physical) is used up. I will say if I can suck it up and get started on something, usually it perks me up, but then I get frustrated because I have to lay it down; the next work day is pressing. I think my priorities are askew. This a common problem of working artists everywhere, especially ones that work in jobs that support the arts.
So its up before dawn, and this entry that ran much longer than I expected. Hope everyone has a great day! Be kind to people and hug your animals close. Make something on your own, don't believe everything you hear, and always always always question power and authority.
