wow...life whizzes by...

I had the inkling to click on here today after not being online for a long time. so much has happened since my last post--i spent about a week on the road out west and in the pacific northwest with my dearest friend and my favorite rock and roll band blue oyster cult. Some people dont understand our hobby, so i explain it like--well, we are dead heads without the dead, and we dont act like dead heads, but we follow boc, which is the second most followed band behind the dead, until phish came along and took all the dead heads under their wing. lol..its also nice to have made tons of friends in the process all over the world to connect with and have something in common with, and it doesnt hurt to hang with the band.  Every single person i talk to about this laughs and says, you are a groupie and i say==NO, i am NOT a groupie, i am a friend...anyone who travels in band circles knows the difference...nuff said...so, that was a TON of fun...

came back from that, and had a ton of stuff to do in the garden and with the kids and scouts...i was awarded outstanding leader of the year for our service unit on long island and that was pretty cool...my daugher also got some awards and got into national junior honor society and participated in a national garden club flower show--and they both got high awards for the flowers they planted and grew--it was pretty cool.

I also got sick with a fever for the first time in 11 years--i know its 11 years because i have lymes disease and anyone who is post lymes knows that when you have a fever, you literally cant move you are in so much pain--so, i remember the last time i had fever my oldest daughter was 1 and my mom came and took her for the duration of my illness...this time, she took care of me...i am so blessed with two wonderful kids, who are so loving and filled with grace and healing energy...it was over mothers day and they gave me amazing massages and healing hands on--by the end of the weekend i was back in the swing of things...

I also camped out with the scouts, which i always love--being in the middle of the woods at night--listening to the sound of the great horned owl calling to his mate...the stillness and silence of a spring night--broken only by the sound of spring peeper frogs and the occasional splash of a jumping fish on the pond...i love it so much...being in nature...feeling a part of it...supported...strong, unafraid. nothing beats it...

We also made it up to boston again for another red sox game...i love ball--man, do i love it! I dont care who you are, even if you hate the red sox, you have to do a game at fenway and hang out on yawkey way and just drink in the history, and the feeling...its totally amazing...

phew....i know there is more--but i am gonna post a more regular blog...with not only what i have been doing, but what i feel as time goes on...

hugs alla you zaadsters! alex.
