Let there be songs to fill the air


Today has been an incredibly pleasant day! Seth woke me up and although the wind was howling insanely, it was so sunny and bright out I couldn't believe the chill! We sat around the stove in the kitchen drinking coffee and listening to the Beatles channel on Pandora until Seth grabbed his guitar.

Our sing-a-long lasted most of the day! We went through most of our "repertoire" and then put some solid time into learning a couple of songs for my Dad's wedding on April 20th. Dad and his fiance Lynn got engaged here in Rock Camp at Pink Moon 3, while Donna Jean Godchaux serenaded them with "Jack-a-roe". I am the"best woman" along with my little sister in the upcoming nuptials. I'm very excited, it's going to be one hell of a party.


Seth has also been teaching me to play the guitar! I have a few chords down and am just starting to get a handle on strumming (I know that sounds so silly!!). I like to practice Standing on the Moon but it's in 3/4 time and I still have trouble with that rhythm. Seth is a phenomenal guitarist and a great teacher, though mostly I just love listening to him play.

After too many rounds of Backwards Down the Number Line and Row Jimmy, Seth got to work cutting up some wood and piling it up on the porch. I cleaned house and puttered around taking care of business. I tried to run a speed test on our Internet (Wild Blue Satellite) and couldn't even load the website. So much for that. My cyber efficiency isn't high, however I make up for lack of speed and tricky access with persistence and CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

More on my social media conquest...I've finally set up Google+ pages for the Pink Moon FestivalRock Camp Productions, and Pinky's Farm! Check em out!

Jake Shrewsbury came up for a little while. It's always nice to have him up, he's a lot of help on the farm, an honest, reliable, hardworking kid. He works at M-Rock (a fake rock manufacturing company) down near Lindside. I absolutely adore him and his entire family. His mother, Cathy made our wedding cake and his sister did my nails for the big day! The Shrewsberry's are just really wonderful people, and definitely a solid part of our little Rock Camp Family.

Now, Seth and I are cozied up on the couch in front of the fire. He is playing Angry Birds one handed with a pack of saltines in the other hand. I'm watching What About Bob? being a bug Bill Murray fan myself. Lucy is asleep at our feet snoring loudly and Ginny and a few cats are curled up next to me. Heaven.
