15 second video. Saturday planting with Wilco.

Peace.

Excuse the lack of enthusiasm in my voice. Planting flowers is relaxing but also a long drawn out task. This was after about 2 hours of cleaning out / digging out areas for bulbs. Amy always gives me too many things to plant - she has a terrible concept of gardening space (room). I always make them fit somehow. Ha. She just enjoys the cuttings later in the year. Kids.



NPR is my station of choice on Saturday afternoons but it also scares me a bit because I used to associate it with older people. Saturdays have Car Talk, Whad'ya Know?, 3 hours of Blues from Northern Illinois Dekalb, Prairie Home.

Anyway, maybe its catching up with me. Wilco (described as a Chicago alt band - with the "alt" out of touchingly mispronounced as "alt" in altitude) was featured on A Prairie Home Companion. That made me feel better - I catch so much crap from my kids when they hear one of the "banjo" or "fiddle" type groups that are more the norm.


Happy Mother's Day to all it applies to. I'm walking over two yards to celebrate Mumsy's at my sister's house in about an hour. Hope it warms up some. I'm feeling guilty being inside but I needed to let my deviled eggs warm up to room temperature. Sooo good. Sooo bad for you. Or so "they" say - I'll still enjoy them with potato salad and burgers today.

Doll stuff.

These pictures were from my mom’s house. She has shelves and shelves of dolls. Been collecting them for years.

We all had gathered there because my sister was up from southern Illinois. It was kind of a late holiday get together. We see each other about 2 or 3 times a year. Just about right. Ha.

The light was almost to low for pictures but on the other hand, it gives them a grainy look, almost like they are a painting, not a photographed object.

There are some pretty ones and some that could terrorize a little kid with their eyes. I always think of the scary doll episodes from the Twilight Zone. And there were a few of them. Shiver....

Anyway, these could make great photo material – I’d like to try some in regular daylight.

And keeping with the doll theme, Doll Parts by Courtney Love, Hole.

It’s on the CD Live Through This. I really like the CD. She’s sings with lots of energy.

i am doll eyes

doll mouth, doll legs

i am doll arms, big veins

dog bait

yeah, they really want you

they really want you, they really do

yeah, they really want you

they really want you, and i do too

i want to be the girl with the most cake

i love it so much it just turns to hate

i fake it so true, i am beyond fake

and someday, you will ache like i ache

someday, you will ache like i ache

i am doll parts

bad skin, doll heart

it's stands for knife

for the rest of my life

yeah, they really want you

they really want you, they really do

yeah, they really want you

they really want you, and i do too

i want to be the girl with the most cake

he only loves those things because he loves

to see them break

i fake it so true i am beyond fake

and someday, you will ache like i ache

someday, you will ache like i ache

someday, you will ache like i ache

someday, you will ache like i ache

someday, you will ache like i ache
