ivy and lace

It's been so cold here -- some days the high has hovered around 0 degrees F. A little indoor gardening was in order and potting up a few sprigs of rooted ivy was just the ticket. The wood coaster the little pot sits on is a slice off the bottom of our tree at Yule. 

I'm thinking about making a valentine with the wire coat hanger, cloth strips and pieces of lace from that pile up there. I did a search online and there are about a thousand ideas so I clicked right out and will see what I come up with on my own now that I have about a thousand images in my head.

Do you or did you ever memorize words to popular songs? It's always sort of bothered me that when I'm with my friends and we listen to 60's-70's-80's music, they know ALL the words to the songs, and I don't. Oh maybe easy lines like maybe "drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry" -- you know. I guess I didn't used to be the sing-along type. But recently Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles came up and it seemed easy enough and it was. Thinking about what my next song should be, something a little harder.

Fittingly, I'm really looking forward to the ice slowly melting. Thanks for visiting and happy weekending. xo

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right.

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (5x)

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, here come the sun

And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

It's all right, it's all right
