I love getting to spend the midpoint of my week with my kids. As cute as the early years are, it's when they are five that I find the real play begins. Before that, there's an immense amount of training to happen. When we are successful, the rest of the years have wonderful connection, discovery, and the mastery of life. #kids #parents #discipline #childdiscipline #fussing #bestlife #culture #permaculture #sheep #lifesteading #grownostr #farmlife

Life moves quick. Everyone is contagious, so only keep the good ones around. #friends #family #purpose #lifesteading #farmlife #farming #music #art #artislife #bestlife #permaculture #lifestages #kids

Creating a good life to me includes a lot of play. It seems possible to make most of what we do in the vein of play. With my youngest now walking the play is definitely up. #play #grownostr #family #kids #parenting #music #bandcamp #bendingreeds #promotion #squash #tomatoes #lifesteading #farmlife #improvisation

Enjoying the space to be in the artist flow while the family is away. I love the mid points in the creation of art, these are elderberry stems that are drying on three to-be paintings.

First single from my upcoming album, Life in the Jackalopes Den, Splitting Hares is out now. #Original #originalmusic #jazzisdead #experimental #avant-garde #artistic #createordie #produceyourself #homestudio #lifesteading #best life #culture #independentmusic #grownostr

Enjoying some time with my extended family. It's great to be with my wife's side and have a moment with my kids great grandmother, 95 years young. I look back fondly of my memories with my great grandparents. The massive farm, the ice cream freezer. What memories do you carry of your ancestors? #farm #farmlife #bestlife #ancestors #vacation #travels #grandparents #greatgrandparents #memories
