Wisteria blooms in the later weeks of March, here in the mudflats. It climbs and crawls at will and random, all over the pine trees -- a beautimous sight.
:-)
Because, it's particularly cold, tonight. I include, it now.
It's cloudy and 40 in the mudflats -- most likely we will have a hard frost or sleet overnight.
Spring is just a distant memory, for now.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

This week, I finally dug out my copy of West With the Night, by Beryl Markham. And opened the pages to read.
It's not a first edition or anything but, I guess it's just time for me to read it.
:-)
And mind you, I'm not really fond of Africa -- and the whole book is about the author's life, there. Still, it's a must read. For it's utter sense of living, breathing, and adventure.
I also discovered the totally cool, Giraffe Manor, online.
If I ever get to Africa, that's where I'm staying!
Life continues to roll along here in the mudflats.
Yesterday it was cold-ish and 54. Today it was balmy and 74 with tornado watches. There's no accounting for the weather, here. It blows where and when it will...

LOL...
Gotta be the best feel-good-happy-dance-a-long-song, just ever!
:-D

Yeah...
Georgia's got lots of 'em. Seashores...
I'm settled in with my favorite tea, and some Terry's Chocolate Orange & popcorn and munchies. Just to watch this great program.
THE SECRET SEASHORE
To be followed by a bit of movies and things.
National Treasure & Jeeves and Wooster.
What could be more perfect???
It's a bit chilly here in the mudflats, tonight. Overnight lows to dip into the 20's. Brrrrr!!!!
Have a great weekend, everyone.

I'm pretty sure I've posted this song previously. But, maybe not this particular version...
Love the hair!!!
I used to have hair like that -- back in the day.
LOL.
This must be very early 80's video -- b/c look how young they all are....
;-)
Have a listen.
Yep. here's the first version I posted on my meager blog...
And, despite the hair, probably still my fave -- I just love the violin...
Have a blessed and safe weekend, everyone.
:-)
This song is for all my friends, and especially for my family.

I was thrilled to find my favorite tea this past week at Publix. Red Zinger Tea is simply the best out there though finding it here in the mudflats has been quite a challenge. For whatever reason, the other grocers in my area do not carry Red Zinger even though they stock plenty of other Celestial Seasonings brands of herb tea. I could write a whole novel on that topic but, suffice to say I'm happy-happy to have my Red Zinger tea!
I just finished reading Even Money, the latest Dick Francis novel, as well as Bag of Bones by Stephen King. Bag of Bones was downright scary. But I loved every twisting, turning page.
Have a great week, everyone.

...and listened to a few favorite Internet radio shows.
Have a great weekend everyone.

An meditation...
I rather liked this one.
I love waterfalls...
Of course, of course. it's another You-Tube!
Have a great day.

Have a blessed & happy week, everyone.

(Yeah...I borrowed this from YouTube...)
One of my most favorite songs -- ever.

Sometimes, music speaks louder than words. So to all my peoples on the internet, listen in...
Curtis Mayfield -- it just doesn't get any better.
Lunch in the mudflats today consisted of a grape soda and some fried pork rinds. I don't think you can ever get any more redneck than that, unless you have a Moon Pie for dessert!
It's a blue sky, sunny sort of day here in the mudflats. Temps right now are hovering around 76 degrees.
Enjoy the day, and be happy.
I'm struggling through THE BLOOD DOCTOR, by Ruth Rendell, after finishing off ICE HUNT by James Rollins last night. Each book is equally interesting in it's own right. But perhaps it is best not to follow a thriller read with the meandering, mysterious mind of Ruth Rendell. I should have read The Blood Doctor, first.
The Blood Doctor
Ice Hunt
Have a blessed weekend, everyone.

It's a very cool 57 degrees and windy, here this afternoon. Lots of rain and wind and things -- remnants of tropical storm Ida -- made their way through the mudflats yesterday & today. I was happy to see the rain. We really needed it.
So it's a bit of a hundred acre wood, blustery day, here today!
Lol. :-)
A few days ago, I finished reading Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. I cannot say enough good things about the book -- I love all of their books. But why oh why did they kill off a main character??!!!
Anyway, it was an excellent read & I look forward to their next installment.
Today is Veteran's Day. Give a salute to your local service men.
:-)
Have a great day.

I'm way over due for a blog update.
Life has just been happening & things and then, things just keep getting in the way!
Lol.
:-)
So, this week finds me much healthier, a shade happier, and all around goodness and wellness prevails.
I still have not made it out to see 'Where the Wild Things Are.'
But, that is okay, because a new movie is on the horizon -- 'Men Who Stare at Goats.'
Lol.
What the heck, I've a day off tomorrow. Might as well take in both at the matinee!
Meanwhile, I'm back to books and books. This week I've been reading up on the barrier islands off the coast of Georgia. All very interesting. More on all that, later.
I've also signed up for NaNoWriMo -- that conundrum of writing insanity, yet again, this year. I'm sure I won't finish 50,000 words by the end of November. But, all the fun is in the trying.
Have a great week, everyone.

I saw this book at work and just had to buy it and bring it home. What a flash back of memories. I remember only too well reading My Side of the Mountain, and other books by Jean Craighead George, growing up.
Frightful's Mountain -- the 3rd book in the My Side of the Mountain series. A lovely read, even as an adult.
:-)
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I am feeling better. And actually put in an honest day's work, today.
Lol.
Have a great week.
