Who's Having Lobster?

I had a great afternoon. A friend was completely changing the menu for her restaurant and invited some people over to taste test for her. We ate and ate and ate, so much that there was no room left for dessert. I just walked in my door and the smell in here is heavenly. I had put frozen ribs in the oven before I left on very low heat and they are a tender mass of deliciousness.
Lobster fishers are bringing their first catches in today so some people will be having lobster for supper. I would say my ribs will be just as good as lobster.

The sunshine did not arrive today but will tomorrow. It will be warm but not hot as predicted earlier in the week but we'll take what we get. This is my last week of freedom. I start work next week though I'm not ready. I have a meeting on Monday and will find out my schedule.

Joni Mitchell is bringing us music today. One of my favorite songs of hers is Chinese Cafe from her '82 album Wild Things Run Fast. I couldn't believe that was from '82. I would have guessed '85 or '86. People's Parties from Court and Spark also fits nicely today. Every once in a while a song really hits me and I play it over and over. Wonderful Life by The Felice Brothers is the latest. I can't get enough of it. I love the song and lyrics and the vocals sound a bit like Dylan. I'd highly recommend a listen.

Early and Getting The Worm

Another early post as I will be out at the normal blogging time. I'm going to take my walk in Charlottetown today. There is a lovely boardwalk around the waterfront that is really busy during the noon hour with lots of office walkers walking during their lunch break. I'm joining them today. I'll be sure to bring gloves today after yesterday's disappointment.

The grackles are back today. Each day from now on will bring new birds. A friend mentioned the return of the red-wing black birds at her house. I still haven't seen any males but have a few females. Strange.

We are expecting ten cm. of snow tomorrow; nothing outrageous and it will add much needed moisture to our dry land. Yes, we have to think positively about it because otherwise it could really get to you when you love to be out in the gardens like I do.

I haven't played any Joni Mitchell in a while. Chinese Cafe was an immediate favorite from her album, Wild Things Run Fast. It is also on the Hits album. I have them both, Wild Things Run Fast on vinyl and Hits on CD. For The Roses was an album I had on eight track and vinyl. I still have the vinyl but the eight track is long gone. One of my favorits songs from that album was Electricity. Here it is, just for you, on Page Two.
