Got these from my garden-catelog. Planting season is about to start (at least, the bulbs)...


A nice sentence that made an impression this week: The ocean sighing towards the sun...


Otherwise, I thought, wont it be great if idle thoughts can be 'typed' automatically? This blog will fill so quickly :)

Some 30 yr old parrot in MA,USA expired last week. Being a research parrot, he warrented coverage in the dailys. What's basic? Colors, and Numbers. The funny thing is, the concept of ZERO seems so important, that the understanding of it seems to bring the parrot up to a higher level?

So the parrot calls the apple 'banerry' (banana+cherry) and the clothespeg 'woodpeg' :) Would be nice to have a parrot around to brighten up the day, though, I suppose the noise can be overbearing at times :).

BTW, culture season starts again :) Have seen 3 events already, Nils Christie seems great with Choeorgraphy, even with the music of martinu (although, I suppose martinu is not so bad). Sat through Nutcracker, the music was HORRENDOUS (I mean, the performance). The volume was almost always wrong (over-blown), and it seemed more like playing the notes, than performing the piece. Of course, I suppose, if the music sucks, the dancers can't dance either (I mean, this is almost the most crucial part of dancing... the music).
