Well folks…there have been some new sightings of Jimmy Ray, my "former" muse.  He had agreed to be a bit less visible and stay close to home.  However, I received this photo today from some artist friends from Louisiana who are staying in San Miguel.  So if you see him on the street…As Dionne Warwick would do…"Walk on by", he is so full of "foolish pride."  You know he did say once, "Be a Fool unto Thyself."  At least he walks his walk…  I must apologize for not reporting in the blog for a long time….'cuz, as Lolita Groove implied, I have been having an affair with Flickr (Anadogroove)…so I am back…forgive me…anyone seen Porn, I mean Child Star or Wee Wee?  We are having a big day here at the house…a tour of architects from Berkeley, so we had to get prepared…I promise to be more loyal to this blog……

…that is if you believe in time.  I guess we all do.  The concept does somehow manage the chaos in a bit more orderly fashion.  I would assume that time as I know it only applies to this solar system that I inhabit…But what about light years?  This whole time thing is beyond poor Anado…and the problem is:  according to this time thing I am getting older and at the same time….time is running out…what am I going to do this time?  It all appears to be so timely…can I call time out?  Will time stand still?  This time…am I right?  Are we on a timer? Sometimes it is all apparent…this time?  Time will tell…

…things seem to be ok.  Work continues.  Beloved Richard returns tomorrow…it is hotter than Haities outside…the obscure sound of that god forsaken leaf blower in the distance…this garden karma will be following me around for the rest of my life.  If I am learning one thing in this life:  Don't Cut Corners! Finish projects with integrity and total abandon…get in there and make sure that the screws are tight and the wind will only embrace and not destroy.  I am loving this moment in time…I am loving this imprint that Richard and I are co-creating along with Carlos and all the critters and the love of our friends and extended Groove Family….Now…let's have some rain……

…should I tell everything?  Should I reveal the cheese?  Yes, I watched all five seasons of"the wire" in a month along with one season of "Madmen"…you could say I have been distracted…Went to San Francisco…saw lots of friends…avoided others…spent too much money…missed saw and still miss Richard…had the runs…thought I was depressed…made necklaces, fed dogs, cats, and burros, made art…designed mosaics..collaborated on a piece with Masako…felt unworthy…felt at my wits end…loved the moment…ran from responsibility…gave anti biotics to three dogs…ate a pizza…went online…watched part of one movie…learned more about Joni Mitchell…cried tears for a generation that got old…that was my generation…my gen..er a…shun…that kind of thing…..just wanted to catch up…no… I am not depressed…if anything, I have shed some baggage and moved on…I am grateful for this life …these days with Richard and all the critters…this ongoing project here at Casa de Las Ranas…what a gift!

…I am heading back to Mexico early on May 27.  My heart is filled with the love of my dear friends in California…I cherish this bond that goes back so far and so deep.  Richard gets back on the 13th of June.  I have lots of work ahead of me…let it roll!

 

..Tuesdays could get so windy
and Wednesdays were so Trendy
Thursdays were on the Mark
like Fridays on a lark
and Saturdays when the wind was missed
on Sundays with a lingering kiss
I loved all of the above
and it's Monday and I am still in Love….
