Saturday was family time! Virginia is for Lovers and so is Floydfest. I learned that Floyd Countian Joey Kaylor, pictured here with his family, made the giant Dreamweavin’ dreamcatchers displayed center stage. Check them out above and HERE. Their stickers say, ‘Listened to a Mom Today.’ My friend Lotus on the rocks with a friend, […]
It was my first time seeing Shakey Graves, on a recommendation from my son Josh. He played without his band, sitting on a red suitcase that had a foot drum fitted in it and told stories of growing up and how he got his band name. It was inspired by a tripped out guy that […]
It’s actually Floydfest #15 but is being called 16 to match the year, because this year’s theme is Dreamweavin’ and it’s a Floydfest leap year, wrinkle in time. After going to every single Floydfest since the beginning, when I first arrive each year I don’t know how old I am or what year it is […]

1. Over the weekend Joe and I went to a fun pre-Floydfest party hosted by the festival founders. It was like going to a bachelor party before the wedding (which, in this case, is scheduled for July 27 – 31). 2. A couple of weeks ago I posted about a billboard sign I saw while […]

________Our World Tuesday /Shadow Shot Sunday
A disorderly yard disturbing the peace A dead lawnmower in the barn A showdown through tall grass and petals A hideout for varmints and ticks A lone black-eyed Susan flaunting yellow The wild west of summer defies law and order Plantain shoots seeds as guilty as weeds Daisies are delivered White clover spreads like thieves […]
