Yes, our band is called Sweet and Lowdown. I'll include a picture and you can decide who's sweet. (!) Actually, it's a name that's representative of the music we're playing. Old style, 40's jazz kinda stuff. We aren't playing out that much right now because my husband has had to travel and Kevin (our friend, the bald one) got sick. But when we play, we have SUCH a ball! Like I said, this is the Prissy in Prissy Jo. It's a rare occurrence!
Mostly you'll find me in my jeans or shorts, sitting in the dirt (or on the rocks). That picture was taken in our back yard before we had that gravel area bricked. We have four acres of that luscious view behind and it's obvious there's no gardening out there... just appreciating the nature beauty. We can see the whole town and beyond. Every sunrise is a precious gift. The picture with the three of us was when we were goofing off pretending to have to be hitchhiking is the view from our front yard. Every sunset makes you stop and breathe in the beauty. Then I included a picture of the house when a storm was coming up.
My studio is a little tiny house that was built in the 1900s as a schoolhouse. Then they divided up the lot in the 50s and moved it to a small corner of the lot, a block off the main street. So I have the schoolhouse and a tiny lot. There was a bookstore there for a while and it was rented for a while and lots of other stuff I'm sure. But it's so perfect for me. There's not much room but it's not far from the Pecos River and has such good dirt. It's been neglected for a long time but I'm trying to liven it up. It's giving me great joy. And it's zoned commercial so I can sell plants or photographs or my herbs or anything, just one block from the main street.
So, that's my long story to your question!
