Sitting in the stillness, I pause for a breath. The first cup is poured, Our eyes connect as we raise our cups to lips. The day has begun.

The plums are almost ripe! More sugar than I need in my life, but just the for the epic color I love them. #permaculture #plums #homestead #colortherapy #nature #art #grownostr #zap

Flight break, almost done with the nest.

Cooking up chicken corn and beans on the flat-top griddle is fantastic! #grownostr #flattopgriddle #blackstone #chicken #corn #homestead

It's so great to celebrate my daughter's 5th birthday. I cooked up 3kilos of taco meat for the party. So much fun all around. #grownostr #parenting #kids #griddle

Morning dawns Sun peeking between tree limbs I stretch to reach the yawning canopy And contract to be with a warmed cup of tea. As birds search for insect snacks Their calls to the day Bring sonic relax No rush Just presence #grown ostriches #lifesteading #tea #permaculture

Anyone here verify that David Sack , the white house crypto czar, is on here? Someone claiming that is trying to have a conversation with me. It stinks of bots. #doubt #skeptic #Whitehouse #cryptoczar

@Jack Spirko so stoked that you got into growing mushrooms and giving the encouragement to get started. This is around a third cup of hardwood pellets with 60 cents of oyster #mushrooms For anyone questioning what this picture is of, the white spots in the jar is the fungi colonizing the wood chips. I'm planning to take this first innoculate and break it out into several bags to fruit in. #startsmall #homestead #diy #thirdkingdom #thesurvialpodcast #growyourown #homegrown

They forgot to add interest. #money #fiat #btc #zap #humor

This is brilliant

Upgraded to an upright freezer. The meat and dairy freezer. I've been trying to find this used for two years, the wait finally paid off. 10 cubic feet! Just big enough. Now everyone in the family can find what they want. #grownostr #homestead #foodismedicine #upgrade #meat #permaculture #thrift

Dialing in my ability to go live from my studio. Aiming for Mondays and Wednesdays 9am PST for a half hour. All music is created on the spot. Here's todays: https://www.youtube.com/live/c6R_FMfbbak #grownostr #music #saxophone #drumbruteimpact #SP-404MKII #ableton #lifesteading #beyondpermaculture

Here's an excerpt from my OhrR project. I have it up on #wavlake but some of the takes are too long for that platform. #bandcamp is still my preferred platform to share music. www.bendingreeds.bandcamp.com is where you can find all of my releases. #grownostr #improvisation #saxophone #drums #drumsandsax #zap

As I work to finish up my next mythic album project, I am concurrently gearing up my solo performance setup. After a great deal of research I settled on #Roland #SP-404MKII as the next piece. It arrived last month, and there's a definite learning curve. Today I had my first round of success achieving the sound I was hearing. When I fired up the rest of the gear and dialed in volumes I took a quick recording snapshot to get an idea of how everything sounds together. It was a first take, and I can see the path forward there's still more to go to bring it all together, and I will be a sonic wizard on the precipice of existence. A place that I love to jump from. #grownostr #music #production #art #lifesteading #myway

#oldmansbeard #forestwalk #medicine #permaculture #homestead #grownostr Finishing up my workday, found my tea for the next week.

After two days I finished #organizing this client's tool-shop. There's a couple containers of stuff to get rid of, but the ability to find stuff now is a godsend. #grownostr #homestead #diy #zap

Some of my music has been selected to be on a show airing tonight at 9pm eastern. mixcloud.com/thesubmithubshow/found-sounds-extreme-1 Give a listen if you like eclectic musics.

Got about 3 cups of char from my woodstove lat night. It's not much, but it adds up. It's also a bonus for an activity that I am already doing. #biochar #homestead #permaculture #hacks #zap #grownostr
