Friday Music

I know I don't mention it often but I am so so so lucky in love. I have the nicest partner he is the best husband, father, stepdad, friend, lover, boyfriend, high school sweetheart anyone could ever have and I love his taste in music:) Right now this is what he's listening to Feist's Fourth Album.

He has the album in his car...

and he's walking all over the house singing OooOoooh Bring em all back to life.

I JUST adore him! Have a Good Weekend!

Martha's Home in East Hampton

I wish I were invited to Martha's house one day!

I love the blue and white entrance with the gorgeous terra cotta planters and lilys.

The hydrangeas...ah sigh

And my favorite Martha's pool surrounded by those gorgeous planters!





Martha displays all her pottery together this is her white pottery

Her Blue Pottery



 

And her McCoy Pottery



I wouldn't mind hanging out and having dinner with her.

Martha's Dinner Table



Heirloom Tomatoes you may eat at her table from her garden.



And Finally her PORCH!



Which just reminds me "Oh" my relationship with Martha is love and hate just love and hate.

I WANT THAT PORCH and that POOL!

Light it Up Blue

I have children and a nephew in the Autism Spectrum. Today I wanted to let you know that next week on Monday April 2nd Autism Speaks, the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, is hosting Light it Up Blue .

It is a global initiative to raise awareness about the growing public health concern of autism. On that day, iconic landmarks around the world will be lit in blue light. Did you know that 1 in 70 boys are diagnosed with Autism nowadays.

Drape something in blue or wear blue in the support of Autism that day!

I ♥ the Hunger Games Trilogy

Have you noticed the Hunger Games CRAZE YET? Did you read the trilogy?


"CRAZES" usually bypass me and I am late on this one too but my daughter bought the Hunger Games to read on the beach in Mexico and when she got home she wouldn't put it down.

I borrowed it and I got the Hunger Games Fever!

Everyone I talk to who's read it went out and bought the second and third book within days and finished them all.

I read at least a book a week but with the Hunger Games I read all three in the week. So if you haven't read them yet pick them up (no point in waiting to buy the second and third book) just buy all three because you will race through them or save them for your trip on the beach and enjoy a total escape.

Wailin' Jennys

I've mentioned before that I subscribe to the podcast: "Canada Live" from CBC Radio among a few others (in case you're interested: Vinyl Cafe, Tapestry and The Current)


All of these podcasts are free and as the host for "Canada Live" Andrew Craig said: "Canada Live" is your "Goodie Bag of Canadian Music".


I have many favorites that I share with you once a week on Fridays and this Spring I have been going back to listen to the Wailin' Jennys Canada Live podcast from October 8th 2010 and listening to these two songs alot on my walk to work.

"Begin"

Hey, maybe the time
just wasn't right to hang on
When are you gonna learn
Sometimes things turn instead of turn out

Hey, when are you gonna stand
Stop looking over your shoulder
Me, with a head full of words
And not one useful expression
Hey, let go

We, with holes in our hearts
Were whole at the start
Our story began
We film ourselves 'til the end
Try to suspend our lives in the dark

Hey, when are you gonna stand
Stop looking over your shoulder
See, there's a sun in the sky
And a moon that will take us til morning
When are you gonna stand
Stop and begin this moment
Hey, let go
Let go (will we be the ones to understand?)...

You wonder why you wonder when,

You wonder how now and then,

How you became who you've become

You are here, And yet you dream of being there,

Of being where you think the good life has begun

Every darkened hallway, Every fallen dream,

Every battle lost and Every shadow in between

Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason

And there's no making cases, For getting out or trading places

And there's no turning back, No you are here

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/the-wailin-jennys-you-are-here-lyrics.html ]

Who can say who made the choice,

In the matter of your birth

Who brought about that fateful day,

Well you are here and born with fire and desire

You're the only one can stand in your own way

And every broken arrow, Every hardened smile

Every foolish gamble and Every lonely mile

Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason

And there's no making cases For getting out or trading places

And there's no turning back No you are here

And every sign of love, Every seed that's growing

Every sweet surrender To that silent knowing

Will bring you to your knees and Closer to the reason

And there's no making cases For getting out or trading places

And there's no turning back No you are here...

Hope you Enjoy! Have a good weekend! 

Art art I want you

When I saw all the ART in this house I wished I could take it home.

This hallway is my favorite and I love that colorful abstract the most.

I ♥ this Henry Miller quote.

Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, to discover what is already there.

Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)

Joni Mitchell and Johnny Cash

I love them both! Have a good weekend!

Happy International Women's day!
