More photos of spider webs and the late sun touching the sides of trees …I just haven’t uploaded them yet, lazy I tell ya!

Actually, just preparing for back to school, crazy how it’s that time of year already! Summer ends… I’m not even the same person I was at the beginning of Summer. It’s funny how you’ll do some growing in almost every season…but still there is always the heartbreak of every ending, to a beginning. And I long to step back at the beginning of Summer and just soak it all back up again… Ugh but I’m ready for football season, fall nights, the promise of new growth. In myself and in my kids…

And here is August’s playlist.

August

I went with Woodstock type songs since it will the anniversary of Woodstock in August. Late ’60s songs. Late summer nights. Then my son’s birthday (the Beatles Birthday),  then it would be my mom and Dad’s 50th anniversary if my dad were still alive, so I added a special song that reminds me of them. But mostly hippy songs, that summer of freedom and revolution…I hope I captured a bit of that. I’m still adding stuff…

Just let your freak flag fly, listen to the good old days, and take the pictures. The thing that gets me out of my house on the loneliest of days is my fanny pack, my camera and hitting the trails. I don’t care, it makes me happy.

I imagine we all are just trying…

Don’t give up!

July

Here is July’s playlist on August 1st. This is probably because I needed to develop this one so much, to develop the wonderment in my life. I played July on repeat non-stop. And have more continuous momentum for August.

Perhaps by starting with the Moody Blues?

If you’ll notice I stuck with male vocalists throughout this playlist. Particularly from the UK, but Nick Cave had to go in!! mostly English and then the last song by the Guess Who I had to add Share the Land because who doesn’t want a world where we can all live together? A world where people are looking out for each other and genuinely care? I DO.

But this month I really just played Nick Cave nonstop. Which started in late June. The Ship Song and

The Ship Song

People they ain’t no Good

People they ain’t no good live

I’m linking the videos of these songs. I don’t know why but the ship song makes me cry. It’s just beautiful.

Maybe Fridays will be music to listen to Fridays on the wee ol’ blog….noooo, why trap myself into a routine and expectations I will never fulfill. I get sidetracked and mostly lazy. But I’ll try. But for now monthly playlists.
