Standing Like A Tree and two other songs that are on my mind today...


the only version I could find on You tube of my favorite Betsy Rose song but its cool...

Iris Dement - Let the Mystery Be ... Live


Testimony (Final Cut)



"By my life be I spirit,
By my heart be I woman,
By my eyes be I open,
By my Hands be I whole". Ferron

My Favorite Ferron song never gets old...

Home-made Taos Drum Bag Phase 2 Work in Progress


I have never been a "sew-er" though my Great Grandpa Joe Siemer was a tailor, so I think it might be in my blood. And though he might be  a little embarrassed seeing my stitching ( my Mom taught me as a little girl but I haven't done it since) I am really enjoying this kind of focused art- doing.  I have also never painted on fabric but after this project, I just might have to recycle more of my little Brothers Patrick's  jeans.  Pat too was proud of our Cherokee dna and I think he would approve of this use of his old jeans. 
 Finally taking time to read All of Michael Drake's  book "Shamanic Drumming: Calling of the Spirits" (as opposed to skipping around as I tend to do, though I am only on page 35) tells me that I am absolutely on my right path. 
Thank You Great Everything !!!!

Mollie and Gizmo


Mollie has a  one way love affair  with a neighborhood  boy-dog named Gizmo. She will see Gizmo a few hundred yards off and then bow down and wait for him to arrive.  Being a little dog, he doesn't tolerate her  true wild Labrador nature very long.  I get a kick out of watching it every time.
