FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC

I have no idea what it would be like to wear a beautiful dress....feel smokey, hair all done, and nice perfume.....go out ...hmm, go Somewhere and have a meal served and a lovely cool drink....and then cheesecake and coffee....

Hmmm, a Rita Moment...ahem minus the smoking...

Mercy Me.....Friday Dreaming....so dangerous....

( every time I daydream like this I get besieged by Harmony.com.....)

Love Is Out There.....

It is true I am having West Coast Yearnings....All of it, California , Washington and Oregon....sigh....Enjoy the Music too.

A little Something for a Nothing Tuesday


Winter is STILL here....( gee, I sound sooooo thrilled don't I ?).....I am waiting for a little Spring....I bought myself one little flower to put in a jar...I needed a tiny little dose of Spring....Enjoy.

Click the Video, it is wonderful, The Song is Ben Taylor singing barefoot on a porch with a friend and his dog " Nothing I Can Do".He is amazing and talented, so much of Carly Simon and so much of James Taylor......Talented.

This is my DREAM Kitchen....oh how I wish.....sigh..anyways this weekend I am cooking....baking....Chili, Sweet Potato Pie and Biscuits and I have to thank Fallenmonk, I went there and there was a great Biscuit Receipe, and since I have always made Hockey Puck Biscuits , I am very inspired to try these. And then a guest at his blog has a great Video that he made, I will post more about that later.....I also am making Easter Cupcakes for my neighbors. Sadly there is susposed to be up to 8 inches of snow today....so so much for Spring...Have a Good Friday....

CATNAPPING...


6-6 has a wonderful cat....sleeps so peacefully ....plops down whereever he is and naps....like a marmalade pillow...even on top of Yellow Dog...He has been distraught by the snow, he sits and looks out the window and cries. We finally realized he is looking for his birds and squirrels and Nothing looks familiar. Poor Fellow.I keep telling him tomorrow the snows will melt...tomorrow.

Blizzard by Lake Erie


****************************
So the picture below is pretty close to WHAT it looks like Outside.....but in my heart and when I meditate I go to the Place Above....I have spent all day watching Home Shows....Cooking Shows....and when Internet was functional, looking at gardens...I finally realized that I am going through Green Withdrawl....that is all it is..

I took the Yellow Dog out and she sank in the snow, drowning and panicing in it- it was over her little head...I took her back inside and dug out a path to a pee/poo area....We tried it again....and still she flopped about looking disoriented....poor thing...and while we trudged so she take care of her issues I thought of this fountain...Maybe this summer I will put one out back...and as I trudged through the White thick blankets I felt warmer planning My Fountain.

TIMES OF REFLECTION...


Sometimes we need to take just a bit of time, and reflect. That is not a bad thing, it is good for the soul. And sometimes it means drinking alot of tea, and absorbing things at a different level. I was worried and upset about the Ohio Results, but now I am looking at it differently, I am looking at What I really saw.....here and what I was feeling. Even if we are allowed to have Hope, we also have moments of Clarity.My son and I have had long talks about how the 60's were a Special Time, and that is a Special Time....and that Something Real has Started.I will do anything to keep that level of Hope and Optimism in his eyes.
