Our Chirstmas Tree.

After getting down and out sick, despite my herbal efforts....We finally had enough energy & seasonal spirit to gather a tree today. We got really into decorating - and as you can see, it got pretty cuckoo...... O holidays.

An attempt to not get sick.

It's officially winter & when winter comes, sickness lingers everywhere. I feel it trying to get me, and I just won't have it. Nope. I've been dosing up on the above several times a day in a whole heart-ed attempt to fool the illness & boost my immune system.........yuck.

O to use hands!

Since we are not touring, dear Alina has been making some lovely jewelry.... wander over there.... here!  Also, If you were unaware:  She & I released a vinyl 10" of 6 original & traditional songs, you can find it..... here! 

Another year has been sung.

I feel like I've been gone for a century.  2009 was a long journey on the rough road. It was a series of dark rooms in hundreds of cities. Suddenly I am back home, and a year has been sung away.  We moved into a beautiful victorian home that has a kind heart.  I am finally feeling settled - And will be settling in for a good long while.  I don't really leave the house, and I am healing.  Writing songs too.  Winter is cold in the North, but we've a wood stove to make fire in. Once more: It's a time for Stillness.
