This is our youngest.. "Nashoba" ( Maine Coon )..he's spoiled rotten and, as a kid, he's a constant pest to Digger & Hannah.. Always wanting to play at the wrong times..

Going to head out to Canon City this A.M. and take a hike along the Arkansas River..need to start the "exercise" thing.. We're going to construct a greenhouse this spring so we can get our own "home grown" veg's & fruit and need to be in a little better shape. ( Also want to have a back-up for food if the economy goes to sh.., not to mention our society itself. The path that the current administration is going is in the wrong direction & we want to be prepared for the worst...... Just in case...) Plus, fresh garden items are the best.... We had a good size garden back in Rhode Island & miss those items that we can grow ourselves...

I had a birthday this past week.. Sharon made a roast with all the trimmings and I made a German chocolate cake.. ( like I need that )... always great to hear from the kids & friends/family.

I've been working on a different version of Dylan's " Tomorrow Is A Long Time" ... Approaching it in a 3/4 time and with more emotion... Sharon loves this interpretation. It's quite different. I did a similar modification with his "Love Minus Zero No Limit"..not quite to a waltz tempo though and played in "open D tuning"for a fuller sound.

I'm also working on a different version of Joni Mitchells "Woodstock", played in minor & major seventh chords... and slowed way down... very haunting.... Lordy, it sounds like I'm becoming a "sentimental crooner" as Sharon would say. But hey, they sound great and it offers a wonderful variety to my repertoire.

Looks like a great day brewing.. no clouds and the Sangre's look incredible !!

Hope you all have a great day.... God bless and keep you all,
