Peaceful puss

Found this recently on the ipad. Mimsy napping on the bed. Beautiful dove-gray day out there now. Showers forecast for later so best I get out soon for a toddle.

White coral bells

With fond memories of the song we sang, with different lyrics, at Presbytery Point.



Another beautiful day out there - our white coral bells long past blooming (if they be lilies of the valley), to be replaced by poppies, tuber roses & siberian irises (purple and white).

Ancient door, Tuscany

I can't claim to have been in Tuscany, though I did see some amazing things during my summer in Canosa di Puglia in 1972 & in the day and a half I spent in Venice in 1975 en route back to Brussels on the Slavic Trip. Unfortunately have no idea where any of the photos I took during either of those sojourns are. :|


I love the way the slightly open door beckons us in. Going to be hottish today- around 80F - heading out late afternoon to tutor a couple tooters @ Northeastern.

June is bustin' 2014 edition

And the first of our poppies has popped.







Gorgeous day out there - best I get tootling since I've let it lapse the past couple days due to fatigue after Wellesley preparations.

Forest lovely

Another forest lovely from someone whose blog I follow. This one from Ukraine (reminds me of something out of The Lord of the Rings).


I don't remember anything like this when I traveled through that country, but I don remember the final meal we had in Kiev on the Slavic trip where the hosts provided not only a bottle of champagne for every 4 people but also a bottle of vodka and I can't remember what other kinds of liquor, along with copious amounts of food. Oh, those Slavs.

Gorgeous day out there today. Dust settling from the distribution of Wellesley assignments (though I haven't opened that email account yet today. Tootling, toddling & stitching on tap for later on.

The enchanted wood

Visual titillation to start your week. With fond memories of Henes Park (not all of these images are the actual, factual park), the cabin, Dornach, Presbytery Point, etc., etc.


Off late-afternoon to tutor two tooters @ Northeastern. Marathon lessons of 1.25 hours each, sometimes twice a week, to fit them all in during "Summer I."

Wonders of the world

A visual treat for this Mothers' Day. Enjoy.

Eclipse from space
 And I love this piece from Mary Long.
Postal

Old Crow Medicine Show

 A couple songs I hope will brighten your holidays. Whiskey Christmas   and Holly Jolly Christmas (it's worth listening to the end)
