My yoga instructor always plays such good music during class
and this one has been on her playlist for a while...
Love the harmonies in this song.
Have a great weekend all!

Quiet living...
While Griffin's in recovery life is a bit slower and quieter around here.
No big walks as of yet.
So a little composition of ordinary life at the morning table...

Ho hum...whoa is me...
Hello, it's me , Griffin here...
I'm usually a running, swimming, playing happy pup...
I love my walks in the woods everyday...
but these days I'm laying pretty low...
You see on Friday I went to see Dr Joe and Dr Lambert and
before I knew it I was fast asleep.
When I woke up I felt like...well...like crap.
Big Time.
My lady told me that I had two big lumps that had to be removed from either side of me.
My owners said it was "for the best".
If you have a problem with yucky stuff you best not look at my next picture...
Yeah that's me...all shaved and cut up and stitched back together...
Ouch...
Itchy too!
My lady and man are taking really good care of me and I'm feeling
much better now. I get these treats every once in a while for being
so good at taking my meds...my lady says this helps me feel better.
Sometimes you just have to have faith...
and trust...
I sure miss my walks though...
But the weathers been crap so it's a good time to hang out inside by the fire...
So long for now.

Song for Friday...from the archives
Last night we watched a documentary about Folkways Records.
Founded by Moses Asch and now run as a non profit company
by the Smithsonian Institute, the collection is staggering.
Among the archives are early recordings of genres of music from all
over the world and in particular, early American music from the south.
I had never heard of Ola Belle Reed until last night.
She was a pioneer of a string (mind the pun!) of women
banjo/singer songwriters and her songs spoke of
life in the Appalachian mountains, where she was born in 1916.
As the Smithsonian website states...
"She wrote honest music from the heart."
So here for you, a taste of this trailblazer of bluegrass.
Have a great weekend all!

renewage...
I've lived in a lot of houses and apartments in my life and was always one
for rearranging rooms. I just like to change it up
now and then...have a different view.
The house we have lived in for the past 14 years has a small living space
and there is only so much you can do with the floor plan.
Still, I try my best to do something different once in a blue moon.
So the Christmas decorations have all been put away and
I in my infinite challenge to shake things up decided to change my dining room space.
I moved my table to look out the windows...
I can look out onto the grey days and the birds...
...a good place for a cup of tea...
My mother fern will be much happier here with more light on her fronds...
A wee reading nook for me as well in the big rocker...
I was looking at images of different reading nooks and came away with a few favorites...
how's this for a stack of reading material?...
makes my little pile pale in comparison!...
...a few more nooks from the net...
O.K, so maybe the Trinity College Library in Dublin is a bit much but a girl can dream can't she?
(by the way, this is one of my favorite places I've ever been!)
Do you have a favorite spot for reading or daydreaming?
Speaking of renewing/ new...or new to me at least...I found this gorgeous Norwegian sweater
in the thrift shop the other day and I can't tell you how thrilled I am...
I've been looking for one for ages and they were either too expensive or didn't fit...
This one was like Cinderellas slipper...fit perfect and I love the colours and pattern...so wintery!
Don't you just love the buttons?!
Anyway that's about all that's new/renewed around here...Does Reuben look like he cares?
