Fish on Friday


We got about three inches of snow last night but I took this photo about ten minutes ago. I said previously that there is snow at the edges of woods and this is exactly that. This would be a gorgeous view if the huge grey barn were not in the middle of it all. If I was a PhotosShop gal I would fix it right up.

I'm having a bit of a party while my son is away. I'm eating fish and seafood every day for the week that he's gone. He doesn't eat from this food group and can't stand the smell of it in the house so my diet has changed drastically this winter. When my daughter lived here there were two of us to over rule this. I normally ate fish or seafood four to five times a week. My boy had a laugh yesterday when I told him I was celebrating him going away. He gave me a funny look then laughed when I showed him the salmon I'd taken out of the freezer. I had my sister-in-law for dinner last night as she has the same problem in her house that her husband can't stand the smell of fish cooking. Can you guess that her husband might be my son's uncle?

Sometimes the music choice has nothing to do with the post. Today there is absolutely nothing in common, so far in fact that even I'm even wondering why the heck I want this and nothing else. Maybe I'm trying to call up the sun and warmer weather? Tropicalia is the song and I have versions by Beck and by Eliane Elias. Elian's version is replacing the missing files - an essential. Also, jazz month is coming to an end soon and that's a good enough reason in itself.

Music To Go


You won't hear me say this often but I've had enough music for a bit. Of course, I say that but have music playing while I type. I've steadily been burning cd's since yesterday. Each one takes hours as they have to be just right, flowing corrrectly from one to another. I have more to do but will wait till tonight or Monday.

The photo today is the same spot as two days ago, just a few minutes earlier. Sunset on water is always pretty.

Our storm fizzled and we got only about five centimeters in the end....not bad at all seeing as it is all absorbed already. Spring has sprung, snow or not.

Some latin leanings is what I've chosen for music today. Muy Fifi by Ry Cooder is one I always add to my dance playlists. It's so catchy and seems to stay with you. Tropicalia by Eliane Elias is wonderful jazz sung in English but with a latin feel.
