At Home


I'm late starting and feeling a bit rushed. The day got away on me. I had a couple hours wait for car repairs. Had breakfast/lunch, did a couple errands and spent a ton of money, yet had so much to do at home. Chores, chores, chores. I'm tired too. This last three day shift was tough. I start five day weeks this week.

I found respite however - in my glorious garden. I have lots of flowers in bloom. Tulips and daffodils are most dense but I have irises, violets, perennial big purple bachelor button type flowers, a wild rhodendrum bush, forget-me-nots, and plants and trees leafing out everywhere. I picked several vases of flowers. I sniffed, weeded, snipped, touched, and became one with the gardens and trees. It is so beautiful this time of year. The dandelion in king in the countryside's landscape. A terrible day to forgot my camera but I did and didn't have it in the garden either so this is a photo from same time last year.

I picked a ton of asparagus too and offered some to my sister-in-law but forgot to give it to her when she left. I can't keep up with it, being the only person living here who likes it. I'll blanch and freeze some tomorrow. It will be truly appreciated at a dinner a couple months from now.

Music continues to be songs I'm trying to replace; essentials on the Cuidado music pages. It's such a pain that they were removed in the first place. I've written about The Skiffle Sessions in the past and how I found them and what they mean to me. The link has songs and there's a few more if you use the search on the upper left. Here are two replacements to show where I felt best today, at home. Here's I Wanna Go Home and Goin' Home from the remarkable, fabulous Skiffle Sessions. One of my all-time favorite albums!!!!!!!

Going Into the Woods


Made it through the big dinner without a hitch. Everything went very well indeed and i have only to do a final clean up and a ton of laundry then I'm off till mid November. What a relief!!

Now it's off to help my dad celebrate a belated 75th birthday. I sure do need to get away and my dad lives in the middle of the woods with tons of woods and trails to walk and drive. This is going to be a really great weekend and I'm enjoying even the thoughts of it.

Music for the weekend to listen to while I'm away: Your Mind is on Vacation by Mose Allison and Goin' Home from my favorite Friday album, The Skiffle Sessions. You KNOW I love that album! Just went to upload them and they're already there so I'll link them instead and choose another new one. How about I Wanna Go Home from The Skiffle Sessions. When I was about 11 or 12 my cousin taught me to play that song on a guitar.

I find this link hilarious. I hope you do too and I hope it offends no one. How to Hypnotize a Man.

Back in a few days........
