home.

home.

home has been amazing.

(thank u all!)

during these weeks, i have played, laughed, eaten, and danced with so many great people. 

NEW YORK CITY: i had the special opportunity to dine with my dear friend Melinda and her mother, aunt, and our other great soul sister, Mara.

(thanks Melinda for taking an epic bus journey to come see me.

every moment was special: ketchup on the green couch at 30Bond; museum trotting; fine dining; bridging uptown and downtown by foot; running joyously through the city rainstorm; changing our plans; doodling into time; and afternoons on the rocks - i love you)

OHIO: made it out to Rootwire Festival and shared positive energy with so many earnest folks. not to mention grooved out to some great live music, saw many old friends & made some great new friends, and ushered in a renewed sense of hope within my heart.

Asheville, NORTH CAROLINA: a beautiful relaxed lil city. downtown explorations, taco tuesdays, fregan-ed carrot cake pancakes, and 9 mile carribbean cuisine.  

Ah! And of course, some woods & farming adventures complete with excellent foraging, forest explorations, goat-milking, and art-making with Zoe.  (more pictures of this to come!)

Oh! and the long&last minute drive, with in-car camping, resisting dunkin donuts, NPR-ing, & feeling frightened that the breaks would give out any second.

thanks bubba - so glad u came.

RAIN: ferry: walking: talking: re:connected with Coop.

NEW JERSEY: ( my jersey shore ! ) swimming in the golden drizzle of sunset with Mara-ley & Willow; eating&talking with many guests on my birthday; walking to the beach for a late-night sesh with my brother, mara, willow, sunny & cecile - we perched up on a life guard stand and watched the light of the moon race down the face of pitch-black nighttime waves as if the sparkling rays were shooting stars across the night sky; kayaking against the current, around the island, into the afternoon, with dad & mara sat in the middle; oh - who can forget the mid-day thrift store & the furry vests (one in brown and one in white) that will & i tried on.

DAD

RHODE ISLAND: a summer-time must.
