The weather here has been absolutely glorious for the last several days.

The porch is mostly painted, and it now has flower boxes and hanging planters all planted with golden pansies. The garden is partially dug and planted, and the seedlings that came up are doing very well. I found some landscape cloth that is way heavier, comes in vastly larger rolls, has an 8 year (I think) guaranteed lifespan, and is waaaayyy cheaper than any other hardware cloth I've found so far (yay!). The acupuncture allergy treatments have been helping a lot and I'm having what may be the last one this afternoon. The repair costs of one of our cars have begun to exceed its value so we decided to replace it, but we didn't have to spend anywhere near as much on a replacement car as we thought we would, and we didn't have to incur debt to do it (yippie!).

Sorry to answer an inpropriate response in your thread, Kathy, I know it makes things worse but I couldn't not respond.

To get back on track, the sun is shining and we have a lovely day here.

The loss of a life is always a sad thing, no matter who or why. Suicide is not a small step in accountability, it is the ending of a life only, who does it serve, how does it help? I bet that poor man's family don't see it as such either.

This morning the CEO of Freddie Mac took bold and decisive action. As an act of personal respondsibility he took his life.
It is both a small and large step towards accoutability of both a man and a nation that effected the world.

I'm sitting here, playing over some 1920s and 1930s songs with my Martin. The lawn man has just been and mown lawn front and back. The sun is shining, it's warm, birds are singing and the smell of new-cut grass is drifting in.

Now - time for a fresh pot of coffee...

I woke up to the sound of a mourning dove the other day. And there's a birds nest under my bedroom window, guaranteeing that I will wake up to birds singing every morning for a while.

Now that I've had a chance to think about it, that last thing might not be too good. I might want to sleep late. Damn birds.

Diva I am fascinated by historical fashion and occupational dress.
I did a course at a regional museum which gave us access to their archive material - including a pair of Queen Victoria's drawers - now I wouldn't need a tent if I had those :)

It's all good! Just returned from my first visit to the National Folk Festival in Canberra. Great performances and workshops, renewed old friendships and made new, then spent a few days on the beach at Byron Bay on the way home. Next Saturday there's an African singing workshop with Valanga Khoza, Sunday there's a house concert, then the following weekend there's "The Planting" working bee with entertainment at Woodford.
If this is doom and gloom give me more!

Last Thursday I played a gig on my 55th birthday. It was the best performance I have ever given and I enjoyed it more than I ever have before. Every song worked, and even the few age-related jokes I told for the occasion got more than a polite reception. I'm beginning to like this performing thing.
