Indoor Gardening



3 weeks

6 weeks




8 weeks
The gardening catalogues make it sound so easy.  “Start your own organic garden indoors”- quite an effective marketing strategy aimed directly ‘dirt daubers’ like me in the winter of our discontent.  Now, eight weeks in let it be known that while one may start a garden indoors, it is hard to imagine transitioning crops to the outdoor plot.  The almanac suggests April 22 as the ideal day for planting the vegetable garden.  Three weeks!  Three weeks isn’t going to make a difference in the girth of the feeble stems on the tomatoes started indoors. Any ideas about the latest possible ideal planting day for pale undersized pampered organic tomatoes? 

"Sleeping in Paris" and the Art of Songwriting

This entry is reposted because it was saved as a draft instead of  published to the site in October as intended by beved.  Needless to say, we feel it is worth a watch.

I'll send the angels to watch over you tonight
And you send them right back to me
A lonely road is a bodyguard
If we really want it to be

There's fascination behind every window
But I know you really care for me
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those angels free

No one sees behind the mask
No one knows I'm sinking fast
But soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those angels free

Love is just a lunar slave
It's tied to the ebb and flow
Generations get glued to the waves
Just to see which way they'll go

There's desperation on wild street corners
But I think you're just waiting for me
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those wild ones free

No one sees behind the door
But every day it's one step forward
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those wild ones free

All those nights I laid with my eyes closed
But not sleeping at all, those nights
I thought I knew which way the wind blows
But now it's blowing me back to you
And the wind speaks French too

No one sees and no one knows
But every day I'm letting go
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
Soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
And we can set those angels free
