Breakfast with Kyle

Hello Sunshine!

Tuesday highlights

Just the good stuff.

Like, checking up on my newly planted baby sunflowers, just popping out of the ground to see the sun.  Say hi!!

After my cleaning at the dentist, I had to walk by an outdoor plant display at the hardware store, and just could NOT resist buying more plants!  So I added these to our pool's waterfall thingy.

Also checked up on my other plants, still mostly seeds or tiny seedlings: tomatoes, onions, watermelon.  I'm a gardening nut in the springtime!

Yes, I love these summery days at our new country home.  Most of all I love the early weekday hours. Playing around the house, outside, (especially after taking son to school and daughter hasn't come downstairs yet, demanding food..)  ..feeling like a spoiled little housewife.

Yes, it's all fun and games until that garage door slams shut around 6 pm.  Then the atmosphere changes and I'm thrown back into reality.  But until then, as they say, while the cat is away, the mice will play!  And that means me and Kyle!

Here he is, acting like a good ol' cow, basking in the sun, eating the grass, chewing his cud.

Speaking of food... how about this yummy lunch special I heated up:  buttered spaghetti with chopped up tomatoes, sauteed sea scallops, chopped fresh basil that I stole from our neighbor's garden, and a sprinkling of Parmesan.  With sweet tea, of course.  yum!  Ate it in the screen porch so I could listen to the waterfall burbling into the pool.  yes, i'm spoiled.  for now.  

Later, this evening, I'll go to my group therapy class, which always depresses me.  Having to admit that I'm in the same boat as these other depressed women, though for different reasons.  Sometimes I feel like I'm actually healthier than they are, it's just that I'm in an ugly place circumstantially right now.  Either way, it's good to have someplace to go where I can be real.  Talk honestly.  Share my real heart.

And here's my daughter's vegan lunch: veggie sandwich with guacamole.  Not bad.  But I liked my seafood better. 

Hope your day is going well, too, friend.

Kelly Clarkson - Behind these hazel eyes

Hey.

Call me a geek but I just cannot get over the rush I had in the car this morning while listening to the drum line of Kelly Clarkson's "Behind these Hazel Eyes"  that was playing on the radio. 

Maybe it was just the zen of actually being (almost) alone in the car to enjoy my music, cruising down the country road, passing a turkey vulture eating his 3-days dead roadkill, breathing the fresh spring air, happy dog panting away in the back seat...

yeah, maybe i'm a geek.  But this ROCKED.  Had to look it up as soon as I got home and found a couple neat vids here to share.  


Maybe what you need to do, before listening to this, is go into the garage, stick your dog and a week's worth of groceries including fresh ready-to-rot meat in the back seat, pray the dog doesn't eat the meat, then turn on this tune, isolate the drum line in your head, CRANK it up, and Listen.

Check it out:

ok, now let's break down the intro a bit...

If this doesn't make me wanna hang up my guitar and grab me some sticks instead, i don't know what will.  
Seriously.  My wrist issues suck and it makes playing the guitar painful, plus i just love to hit stuff, 'specially when i'm mad.  Hoping my son will renew his interest in drums, maybe when he goes to middle school after another year, maybe he'll join the band and choose percussion. Then we'll have an excuse to drop some cash on a real drum kit.  we'll see.  
If not, this old mama might have to invest in a new hobby one of these days...see if some music school will bother to teach an old granny like myself!!  ha ha.  

anyway,  that's it from this old fart.

just everyday stuff.  

Now go out and HIT something!

later.
