“hold me closer, tiny dancer…”

Elton John’s Tiny Dancer. this is the song that pops into my head when i finished editing this shot. most of my teens, i spent laying on the living room rug, blasting ‘Madman across the Water’ i can buy it on Amazon, used vinyl for $1.25 or i can buy it NEW for the incredibly…

grow what you wanna eat

these are going to become blueberries…i have five blueberry bushes, 8 years of age. you know what that means? i will have too many blueberries to eat…if you own dirt, consider planting blueberry bushes, they are beautiful & give fruit. AND they will bring big, fat bees…
