John Prine - Take A Look At W&lMaRt

A few years back, my friend Naj had made a comment about doing some shopping at the W&lMaRt.  I cannot recall all the details but do remember the song of John Prine - Take A Look At My Heart came into play.

 

When it did, I took that to heart and made for Naj the suncatcher you see in the photo.  Naj, in her great wisdom, put it in a very safe place.  She went years without finding it.  I would ask her via email - have you found the W&lMaRt heart?  She did reply, I know I put it somewhere - safe...

 

Today, she found it - safely hidden under a knitting book.  Well Done, Naj.

 

You don't know what your getting into

She's gonna tear you apart

You're going places I've been too

Take a look at my heart

Take a look at my heart

I am quite enjoying the photos Billy is posting.  Here is a nice photo of his brother, John Prine.  A private celebration held in Chicago to do the Happy, Happy, Birthday for a friend - now is not that on the side of nice!

Jason Wilber

Recently ~ John Prine, Jason Wilber, and David Jacques were guests on the Colbert Report.  Songs played were How Lucky Can One Man Get and Paradise.  Stephen Colbert joined in on Paradise.  My favourite John Prine song.

 

Photo - Thank you, Jason Wilber. 

Oh Look. . .

My mushroom suddenly received a friend...now how did that happen? 

Just too cute!

The Mushroom

A mushroom I found today after our heavy rain of this morning.  All is beautiful, sunny, and warm on the mountain side.

Nice picture I took.  I like the dots and ridges - but eh, I am not going to eat it.

 

A nice weekend to you and yours.

A young Billy and Johnny Prine - Maywood, Illinois - 1958 or so...

 

Billy has such spunk in his smile.  His right hand clenched to his perfectly ironed pants. 

 

On the other hand, our young Johnny seems to very relaxed in this young photo shoot. 

 

Billy, today shades Johnny in the height factor.

 

The first time I saw John Prine in Vancouver in the late 70's...this tall fellow came to sit in a row in front of me.  Yes, I was in row 5.  He waddled along and raised his knee proceeding to sit - I wondered what was that patch on his leg - so I asked him...he replied - Backstage Pass.

 

To the front row of us sat Billy Prine and the first wife of John Prine - Anne Prine.  It was a family affair. 

 

My start of toe tappin began. . .

 

 

Around The Yard, Today

Labor intensive work done by a chipmunk.  Stashing sunflower seeds for winter.

 

Near flowering garlic.  I can't wait to see it in full blossom.  First year I have planted garlic - out of the five I planted - one grew.  It is an intriguing plant to grow; it twists and loops around then straightens out and goes to the blossoming stage. 

Mountain Ash

The beauty of the Mountain Ash. 

 

We do not have the Mountain Ash Tree in our yard, but my seasonal neighbor does.  Sure is a splendor of beauty.
