trespassers
Look closely. Cabbages. Weeds. And two rabbits.
I have a huge fence around my vegetable garden AND chicken wire around the bottom two feet, just to keep my beloved bunnies OUT of the vegetables. But somehow, they find their way in. Here are Pinky and Licky lounging amongst their snacks. How do they do it?

pani puri
What is a visit to Detroit without a visit to the Indian grocery store with Megan and Dave?
Pani puri for the people
suave
I liked the Sweet Lady brand frozen tamarind pods
The stock boy couldn't speak English, so it was doubtful he realized how funny his t-shirt was

Rock n' Roll All Night
I photographed as many audience members as I could at the Def Leppard/KISS show August 23rd at DTE Music Theater in Detroit.
Male of female, most fans donned Gene Simmons make-up.
This guy had the platform boots on and was like 8 feet tall
KISS played Cadillac, MI High School in 1975 - right down the road from my farm - and this man, obviously, was there - here's info about that event - I understand they are going to make a full length documentary about it
This guy was tailgating in the parking lot - note potato salad
My own dates for the show - I love these people SO much!
Unbeknownst to us, Dave brought a fake blood packet to the show, and during 'God of Thunder', broke it out and spit blood along with Gene Simmons, who was doing it on stage. I was laughing so hard I could barely look up for this picture - he spent the rest of the evening with dried fake blood on his face, neck and clothes. I love you Dave!

Laurie brought me an insanely complete home made fish taco kit on Tuesday containing lake trout (caught in Lake Michigan by Tim on Monday), tortillas, cheese, avocado, jalapenos, cole slaw (home grown cabbage and carrots) cilantro and sour cream. Are you kidding me?
Supremely delicious! Best meal of my week xoxox

a letter
Dear barn cats,
Listen up, I'm talking to you. I want to remind you that I, and I alone, am the cat of this farm. And Sue's favorite. See, look at me, I'm sitting on TOP of your HOUSE! I also ate your food, pooped in your cat box, and will be here every night looking for a fight. You have been warned.
Don't tread on me!

Summer music download
A recap of my latest iTunes download - GIRLPOWER! With my reviews:
Melancholy and beautiful, like Lana
St. Vincent - so talented, unique and cool
Girl hip-hop with a woman's perspective and classy, sexy grooves
As good as the other Coppola soundtracks
This collection is the only Nina you ever need - everyone should own this
