When my sister sent me a photo of her fall crop, I joked and said, “Send me some of those sweet potatoes!” And then she did. Words can’t express how it touched me to open a box of these potatoes from the rich, earthy soils of Maryland, especially when the dry, sandy ground here is covered in snow. (It snowed again yesterday and apparently more is on the way tonight. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains do look amazing all dusted with white.) #sisters #fallcrop #frederickmd #santafe
Today I met the Alan Lomax of New Mexico. His name is Cipriano Vigil. He has devoted his life to collecting music and passing it on to future generations, part of which entailed traveling throughout New Mexico in the 1960s to find and record artists playing traditional Spanish folk songs. He’s also learned to play over 300 instruments and builds many of them—from things like tortoise and armadillo shells and a lot of cigar boxes. Have you ever seen an electric cigar box guitar with its own battery-powered cigar box amp? I felt so lucky to get the opportunity to meet him at his home today. What an incredible soul. #newmexico #ethnomusicology

MAKING A NEW HOME :: The moon is in Cancer, and I’m feeling domestic for the first time since April (also feeling sick, which might have something to do with it). Still unpacking, slowly, from the road. Spent the day adding lights to the living room, burning sage and juniper I harvested in the desert, resting, making bone broth, making rice with a sesame seed and dulse blend I got at an apothecary on Lopez Island, decocting nourishing/adaptogenic teas for fall (lots of good roots), listening to music ... creating my space. It is time. #home ✨
