Music for Saturday

 SB - thanks for reminding me of Van. This is the song I was trying to remember.

The Saturday (whenver) Nudes

I know, I know. It doesn't have the same ring to it. But. Just as life takes its twists and turns, so does nudity.  ;-)  I blow myself away by my profundity. All I want to say is that the nudes did not make it last night due to the frigid temperatures in the Northeast.  It seems everything is taking longer to thaw than usual.

Happy weekend.

Song for a Snow Day

Between reading Francis Hunt and Singing Bear's blogs, I thought of one of mine and WP's favorite films, McCabe and Mrs. Miller. And what a fitting setting for what is going on weather-wise around these parts. No amount of  "summer feeling" can erase the reality of this storm. Yikes.

Summer Feeling

 Aaaaw, that Jonathan Richman is a crooner. With the worse winter storm in history raging as a backdrop, I could use a little daydreaming.

Take care out there in the forest!
