A little present for you from me,

and I know you need it:

(drag it to your desktop and open it at the largest size)

stained hands?  Look at the list above to figure out what to do.  

No, do not soak in Clorox.

Sandy's sage advise, wear gloves when eating blueberries.

Santa Claus has the right idea - visit people only once a year.

Sometimes these posts just write themselves, sometimes it's a struggle.  But if you  noticed my comment section yesterday, someone took the time to find out about Lord Buckley, the world's first hipster.  AND she found a poem (?), a rap (?) or a performance by the Lord about (drum roll) RAVENS.  Here is just one tiny section:

Gone full out

I found the shutter

When with many a flip and flutter

In there stomped a king sized bugbird, Jack

From way back days of yore

Not a minute tipped or hung he

Not a minute brought or down he

But with stance of king and queen

He swung above my sweet pad's door

Lit upon the bust of Paris

Sat goofin' there and nothing more.

"Unsolid hip," said I, "That you're not craven

Gasser grim and beat up raven

Goofin for the night's Plutonian shore.

Swing hip me to what thy tag is

On the night's Plutonian shore."

Flip the bugbird, "Nothing more.

Solid wig me this bird to dig me

Though it copped out not upon the score

We cannot help it

Being that no single human be

Ever was so sent by seeing a wig like this

Above his pad's door

With such a tag as: Nevermore

Whatever you do today, go back to yesterday and check the Groucho clip at the bottom for your intro to the Lord, then go to the link above to learn about his life.  I was a bit hasty in my 'asshole' proclamation.  Sorry, Lord, wherever you are.

BUT HEY, NOW WE'VE GOT RAVENS AS AN OBSESSION!

Sealed in!

We'll talk more about them soon, I'm busy making hats for them.

                                  
                                                So, lets talk about carnivorous plants!

A couple of pitcher plants I saw in the botanical gardens in Sarasota.  Wish I took pictures of all of them, alas and alak.


I know that captcha thing is a pain in the butt, but whenever I take it off I am deluged with spam.  If you can't get through in the comments section, simply drop me a line in email-  address is there on the left under 'contact Sandy'.  I love to hear from you, even if you're Anon E. Mouse!
