Just a few things…

It’s a warm day with clear blue sky and sunshine, so I want to get out there and enjoy it.  I have a few seeds to plant and pots to put out on the steps now that the cold seems to be (hopefully) over.  But I wanted to post a few things that have made me smile lately…

 This video had me laughing out loud.

Also, the other night I was chatting with one of the lovely women I have the privilege of talking to on a weekly basis, and I mentioned one of my favorite books of all time, “Circle of Stones”, which I came across one summer when I spent a magical afternoon browsing in used book stores in Mendocino, California.  I LOVED this book from the second it called my name, and I literally mean it called my name;  in that strange inaudible, yet ever-so-inaudible way, it pretty much jumped off the shelf at me and said “Buy me!!!” 

I have read it multiple times since.  My copy is in even worse shape than it was when I bought it used, plus I have litttle penciled-in notes in many of the margins, so I don’t like to lend it out.  I tried a few times to find another copy, but alas, it had been discontinued.  This is what I explained to the woman on the phone, after I read her an excerpt.  Later that evening, she emailed me to say that she had found it, on Amazon in a new edition!   I’m going to go buy 10 copies and give one to all my dearest friends.  Check it out.  This book rocks!  (no pun intended)
