The view of Phillips Lake from Lucerne Inn made us want to reverse the view. There was no direct access so we walked until we found a camp road and a snomobile trail that put us out on the lake. A morning walk before Marge and Miff joined us for brunch in the big sunny dining room.
Yesterday in Ellsworth, after shopping we ordered way too many things from the tapas menu at Cleonice. I love the wooden booths.
Friday was a snow day and most workplaces shut down as we got 8 to 12. Snowmometers: the amount of snow that Wing and Scout come in with on their backs tells us how hard it's snowing.
Sometimes I pick up a favorite coffee spoon and realize that I've owned it for 35 years. That's one thing about having lived a long time. The other thing is that stories you tell are from times that others don't remember and even as you tell the story it sounds like a scene from a movie where all the people have bad Southern accents. Case in point. I bought a gardenia bush at Longfellow's nursery, a small variety, but a real gardenia. My sisters will know immediately where this tale is going. Here are the parts of the story: a huge gardenia bush in our side yard in Louisiana, segregation, prom time. I'd tell the whole story, but someone might make a bad movie out of it. I recently redid the archive page with a tree menu on the left so I can quickly hop to old memories, having done this since '98. I call it a blog most of the time now because people understand what that is. As bandwith and storage have gotten cheaper, the photos have gotten larger. Every year the easily accessible online record of things past becomes more valuable to me. I had to leave the old archive menu around because fancy JavaScript doesn't work on PDA browsers yet. Here's the March Mix. I like it when Ruthie Foster sounds more like Ben Harper and less like Chris Williamson. A new voice Audrey Auld sounding a little like Mary Gauthier on a great song by Patty Griffin. Rasputina: cello wielding bad girls. Bethany & Rufus remind a lot of people of Tuck & Patti. Bethany Yarrow is daughter to Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul & Mary and this is one of their old songs. A shoe trilogy starting with Pattie Griffin's Burgundy Shoes: the bus to Bangor? Pretty soon I'll have to make a Northern Places mix. Phenomenal Woman lyrics are by Maya Angelou although it was a white chick song before Ruthie made it her own. |
