Hooray!

A warm Sunday evening and the big moon is about to rise. It is blissful to have it summer, to have great heat during the day and a comfortable temperature at night that requires only a light long-sleeve shirt. I am trying to eat it up as much as possible, soak the sunniness into my bones, storing up for the next season when the wind changes and a chill is in the air.

A weekend of music....a trip over the hill to Grand Targhee Resort for their annual Targhee Festival. It felt like a mini-vacation. And what a line up of music...the electrifying energy of Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, the constant sexiness of Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, the political grittiness of James McMurty, and the upbeat fun-ness of Michael Franti & Spearhead. There is something about this festival that is so joyful. Not just the music, but the people that come-families galore, friendly smiling faces, a feeling of togetherness in the joy of good sounds and beats.
