Now Playing
When I was in Jr. High my
big sister came home with a Pete Fountain album called "The Blues".
It was right around the time I was obsessed with Tolkien's The
Hobbit, and as I read and re-read that book, this album was playing
and playing, and playing again, over and over. To this day I can't
hear a song from Pete Fountain's "The Blues" without seeing in my
mind's eye Thorin Oakenshield & Company riding their ponies in
the rain, cloak hoods pulled up against the wet wind with little
Bilbo Baggins bopping along in tow. I kid you not. It's Hobbit
music to me... Read

Everybody
have you heard? LOL!
We have a mocking bird. Actually we have two, a wonderfully
entertaining pair of mockingbirds who have lived in our yard now
for two years. It's a lot of fun to watch them going about their
birdy business and generally roaming around the yard keeping things
in tip top shape, at least that's what it appears they think they
are doing. And when the weather is nice enough to sleep with the
windows open I enjoy hearing their song pretty much all through the
night. It can be 2AM out there and pitch black, and those two will
still be busy, busy, busy and singing away. Now that might irk some
people, but I love it.... Read

Happy
June to you all! Wow, that came up on us pretty fast. Spring has
been a busy season here with lots and lots of yard business going
on and even the beginnings of porch painting. I'm a little behind
where I thought I'd be right now, but not terribly....

It's
going to be a hot one out there today, especially for it being only
early May. They're calling for a high of 88F, about 31C for my
overseas friends. I'm guessing that has to be at least 15 degrees
or so above normal. *whew* So instead of mowing the lawn today
(which is definitely due) I decided to just do a good soaking of
all the new flowers sprouting up around the yard and call it a day.
Major slacking will ensue.... Read

Wow,
it's a day away from May. Amazing! A visitor writing to me last
week about something she had found here on Little Delving (booty!)
graciously pointed out that it appeared as if I may have
disappeared from the web entirely, if one were to judge from this
'news' section of Little Delving. LOL! Point taken. I've been a bit
wrapped up in this first part of the year so far. Just had a few
Things To Do, and so I've been away and occupied. But this morning
I thought I'd pop in to say hey, offer a Spring Update, and let you
know what's been going on.... Read

Hello,
hello! It’s a New Year again! Funny how that just keeps on
happening year after year, huh? Well, this year is off to a
particularly good start for me. I spent part of my holiday season
in London with my friend V, and we had a really good time. It was
great!
Best Holiday Ever. 
This
is I think the 3rd time now.... Read
