Last chance before the state senate meets to discuss tryna gut the Buffalo River Watershed AGAIN. I just spent my birthday retreat there. Here are some of my photos. This is the landscape we continue to fight to protect.

1. Butterscotch son is very pleased w himself this morning.

2. Grant I was gonna apply for requires artists to attend a retreat but I have concerts on those dates. Yet grant winners not announced until 2 months prior? So actual working performers with lives/a tour schedule don’t deserve grant $? 🙄

Well, ok. The sun came up. I knew it would. But it helps to see it.
8am blue sky with wintry sunlit clouds over a frozen lake surrounded by leafless wild shrubs and frozen ground. A majestic cypress tree presides over the scene at the water’s edge, all her greenery gone until spring.
