Life on a mountain top with goats, garden, music, art, & love.
An offering. A gift; experience, insight, & thoughts, on living a life with plants & animals. Finding nature, making culture, & following the path of least resistance.
This site is an experiment in sharing, in which you can explore the exploits of a couple of creative Refugees From Urban Living. In a Mendocino County forest we grow our own food, make our own cheese, & discover our abilities; living a life of multi media art & music, performing guitar & violin music as ‘FRISKY BRISKET’, Writing, Making, Art, & Food. Living Life With Nature, and the creatures that sustain us. Goats, our mascot, the great anarchists of domestic animals, Birds; Chickens for eggs, & Pigeons for grace, Honeybees for the flowers & fruit, & for the buzz. A Dog for comfort, protection, & exuberance, & Cats, because they are Cats. And a cast of thousands, both unseen, and relished; the wild birds we encourage, the Goldfish that patrol the Pond, the Dragonflies that burst forth in multitude once or twice a year, if you are present to experience it, & the high flying Geese that announce their north & south passage seasonally.
As an Artist, this media offers unprecedented opportunities, as I discover new abilities,
(and the limits of my patience when it come to screen watching, finger tapping sessions.)
The questions are:
1)can I balance the inevitable draw of this technology with my day to day homestead tasks? And,
2) can a digital neophyte offer any relevant content? I would like to think our story is inspiring, but it is ours alone. My goal is to offer encouragement, possibilities, and hope for those behind us, on the same path. So take a look, please be patient with my technical navigational flaws. And stay tuned, my plan is to self impose a monthly deadline for new content. If you find it relevant, please pass it on. And let me know what you think.

These share buttons make it easy to share this site via the new paradigm of communication, and increase this site’s exposure. But, I don’t approve of the business model of social networking, or the tracking of user data and targeted marketing. More than ever media literacy needs to be learned and practiced. I have the distinct feeling that I am at some sort of crossroads of ethics- perched on the verge of something distasteful. However, As they say: “WHEN IN ROME.” Please, use at your own risk:
