Random 70's inspired life


I am a child of the 1970's. Was born at the beginning and it has always colored my world. The music, fashion colors and style of the 70's. 


 The long hair, loving nature, natural things, long skirts, flowing blouses and happy hippie style I adore.
The 80's were the opposite and very plastic and clashy. Much prefer the 70's and I can see it is back again. The macrame, the plants inside the house, guys with beards, bright happy colors are all back. The music, the flowers, gypsy and the back to nature everywhere granola life. I am glad it was not the roaring twenties some harvard professor said it would be after the pandemic. People have embraced home, gardens, planting what makes them happy and living the life that they want. As social distancing is still around along with the virus, the rest of the world is slowing getting back to normal again. Except for India, they are having a rough time. In the US everyone is traveling in some form is a go this summer. We have been home for a year and a half.

Anyway, here is a basket of pretty fish.

These fish are made by the artist Rachel Laundon. She creates the most gorgeous artworks using bright colors. I love her flair.

And as I was looking for something off  topic I give you a crab.


And how can you not forget your spirit animal the coconut crab (not a hermit crab) found a home in a human skull. Gotta keep it real in Bora Bora. Love that rye humour I grew up with.
That is it for random inspired ideas that are in my head.





 

I thought the freight train got off on the second floor...


Yes, I got the Moderna 2nd dose and bam hit me hard. Got weird feeling after first 20 minutes and downhill from there. Pounding head pain, fever of 101 and lethargy. Stayed in bed for one entire day, took tylenol to deal with the pain and then bed for fever dreams. Should have taken nyquil. The next day still lethargic and some head pain. By day four I was ok but I lost brain cells and my arm is a meat stick of pain. I forgot cooking measurements and how to cook some basics. My arm is on and off numb and I still have no hunger and no energy. My husband was the opposite reaction, hyper awake with a fever and stayed up for two nights in a row. But the farm can't wait so onward I go.
 I had to make a cage for the 7 roosters my hen hatched this March for auction. Only got two hens from the entire clutch. Then had to get them in their running for life coop roundup. My primary rooster agast I touched him by mistake. My two silky roosters happy they are thug free for the night. And I can watch my feed bill get smaller with less wasted on roosters I do not need. So they will go to auction and I can have a quieter farm with less to feed.
The seedlings are growing well for us in spite of 3 frost nights in the last two months. I gave away 5 boxes of veggie starts that I did not need in my garden this year. Our local senior center takes plants and veggies. Some seniors like to plant in pots. They were given tomatoes, oregano, lemon grass, cilantro, parsley, squash, watermelon and bok choy. All the starts were huge and ready for planting. I hope this year everything makes it. It has been a cooler spring here this year in the Ozarks.
