We finally got a new video up of a performance from last month. There should be more to come. Hopefully better ones to come…

Chickens!
Posted in Mountain View, chickens, farming on May 4, 2009 | 5 Comments »
So Leo and I have jumped in and purchased eight baby chicks. They were hatched two weeks ago today. Right now they are living in a plastic tub with a heat lamp out in Leo’s shop. We kept putting off buying them until we read up more on what kinds to get and how to [...]
Arkansas Ice Storm
Posted in Mountain View, Winter on March 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
At the end of January, we had an intense ice storm hit Mountain View and other parts of Arkansas and the south. The weight of the ice took down power lines, power poles, and lots and lots of trees. All of Mountain View was powerless for several days. We lost power on a Tuesday afternoon. [...]
Art Time for the Womyn
Posted in Mountain View, art, handmade, painting, watercolor on January 28, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Last Sunday, I attended my first “Art time for the womyn” gathering. A friend of mine from work hosted this event. A small group of us are getting together once a month to create whatever we feel like creating. I worked on a watercolor painting. For not touching watercolors since college, it wasn’t too bad.

Leo and I have been observing the work of beavers on the edge of our creek over the past few months. It’s pretty amazing what they’re capable of! Here are some photos of their work upstream. I’ll have to go back and take a picture of their dam for you to see. It’s pretty darn [...]
Leo & Olive…my little family

I started this post a couple weeks ago. It’s kind of sad now, because it may be a “In Memory of Olive” post. We haven’t seen her since Friday afternoon. Who thought that I would ever mourn the loss of a cat? But I’m pretty darn depressed. Our best scenario: She was pregnant and she [...]
The Story of Ruby Pines
Posted in Mountain View, Ozark Folk Center, Uncategorized on November 18, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Ruby Pines is my stage name. It all started out as a silly thing that I didn’t even know would really come to be, but it did.
I began working at the Ozark Folk Center as the front desk receptionist at the Administration Building. After about a week of working there, the music director had several [...]
Timeline: big city to back woods
Posted in Kansas City, Mountain View, Ozark Folk Center, timeline on November 2, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Well, big city isn’t entirely accurate…and I now live within 30 minutes of a Wal-mart, so I suppose back woods isn’t exactly the case either. A little over six months ago, my husband, Leo, and I lived in the middle of Kansas City. I rode my bike to work at a bed & breakfast, I [...]
