in a church

our first neighborhood concert this past weekend.
BROTHER in a church. a near capacity audience.
my son in the front row imitating dalbo,
or dancing with the other small ones,
or watching me, hand to his head in the sign for 'dada'.
people there from the days of yore.
one bloke who was at our LA show with colin hay 14 years ago.
and the flyer to prove it.
kids, teachers and parents from the school shows we did last week.
a community gathering.
felt good to be so welcomed our first time out ...
we had to move a couple of months back.
a pain the in proverbial but the first place we looked at suited us perfectly.
a mountain view that takes me back to the farm.
and lichen grew up here, so it feels like home for us both.
big back yard, deer proof veggie garden,
fruit trees and an old chicken coop.
maybe next year we'll have chooks. that'll really take me back.
nothing quite like collecting your own eggs.
a goat perhaps? no, just kidding.
one day ...
sonora this weekend with andrew and david.
gold country. they found it there, and the grasses are.
gold that is.
for now, time to soak in the view. and a brew.
