this one's for my crew.

Here's to a new chapter, a new job, new theme, new everything!

Last weekend we went to see our favorite local band, Jackal Tickets, play their first show in months. The bar was crowded, the air thick with smoke, and the music loud. It was such an amazing surprise to hear that they wrote a song for us! They have started calling us "The Luna Acres Crew" after my series on local music back in the spring. It is an honor for us, though I feel a little bad for my sister and bestie, since they were thrown in under our name. I wanted to change up the page in honor of all the new changes in our life (including my new job as of this week!) and if you check out the sidebar you'll see that I have them included, because they will be in lots of posts on here! They are my best friends, and we are lucky to have a group so amazing! So this is for you guys- Amy, Savannah, Justin, Deacon, and of course Jonathan. The Luna Acres Crew. I hope I can make all of you a bigger part of this space in the months to come!

And by the way, the song was AMAZING.

Thanks to Jackal Tickets for a great show!

Also, Traci Shelton for the photographs.

And most of all, my best friends.

Until next time,

Angela Kelly

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends. Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a new project

I stumbled upon a website last week about low impact woodland homes, essentially: hobbit houses. Dug into a hillside and covered with earth to create an efficient and beautiful house. They are made with roundwood framing, using oak trees left whole as the timbers. Straw bales are used for insulation in the walls and under the floor. They used a natural lime plaster on the walls, recycled materials for everything possible, thrifted doors and windows. All together this husband/father and his father in law built a house for under $4000 in about four months. I have been blown away by the ideas and resources available on the subject. We have spent hours already discussing the outbuildings we will need in the future, such as barns, root cellars, storage sheds, animal shelters, and well we could definitely use a few cabins around. If we can utilize the materials around us in this way, it's possible for us to create an incredible farm, beautiful, efficient, and sustainable....

Justin and Savannah's Wedding - The Reception

The ceremony was simple and sweet, and the reception was the perfect party. A band on the porch, delicious food and drinks, cake and dancing. It was an epic night for everyone involved. Until next time, Angela Kelly
