a far far better thing i do

a woman wears her tears like jewelry...

tis a far far better thing i do than i have ever done before, a far far better place i go to... (ah, close enough) i can still see ronald coleman standing there, wistfully giving that speech at the end of "a tale of two cities" - never read the book, tho....

quotes are great little equalizers - kinda like spouting scripture - it shows you know how to make a point or draw a conclusion - ok enough of that

let's see, i'm posting this on my apple laptop, and i have no images saved to this hard drive, so this will have to be a pictureless post - but i did go to one of my favorite sites tonight, the NASA archives - great images of nebulas and star systems and the moons of saturn (artist-enhanced, most of them, but eye-poppingly gorgeous) and shots of the earth from space and the northern lights - incredible stuff - even google is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the hubble telescope and is hosting a "best photos from hubble" virtual tour (if you download the latest version of google earth, that is) - incredible photos, both there and on the NASA site...

it's after midnight - must be toddling off soon - going to a daffodil potluck to commemorate earth day at a place called hay house farm (not to be confused with louise hay and her hay house biz) i made a 3-bean salsa (black beans, garbanzo & pigeon peas with onion, tomatoes and some vinaigrette, with a little turmeric and mrs dash tossed in for good measure) and i bought some tortilla chips - i really wanted to make this potato tian (kind of like scalloped potatoes or au gratin) with Gruyere cheese - mmmmmm - but i'll make that another time for my next social event

so - another day, another reason to blog!

Today I am excited about...trying your 3-bean salad, discovering what a daffodil potluck looks like in the pouring rain, and reading another post on your blog!
