Carole set a task for us this week to share 10 Favorite David Bowie Songs:
Wow, this was hard for me, because, I was not the biggest David Bowie fan. However, in Googling him, I found this wonderful and prophetic quote:
I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.
I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, “Fuck that. I want to be superhuman.”
I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.
I’m always amazed that people take what I say seriously. I don’t even take what I am seriously.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.
To not be modest about it, you’ll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I’ve worked with have done their best work by far with me.
Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I’ve seen on some of that songs that I’ve written are a lot more interesting that the input that I put in.
I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a moral with potential of a superman. I’m living on.
And so you will, Mr. Bowie – you will live on in your music that you gifted all of us.

I even have some of them done!

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. ~ George Washington Carver
No woods here, but sunrise through the droplets of water was particularly beautiful today, as was the garden wearing strings of water pearls…
May your weekend be filled with simple beauty, Gentle Reader.

It is January and Christmas is all put away, the “winter season” of television has not yet started, the days in much of the Northern Hemisphere are dark and gloomy.
Not much to look forward to.
Unless you are a knitter…

Some months ago, as the local farmer’s market was winding down and autumn vegetables were abundant, we got quite a few acorn squash which have been waiting patiently in my cold cellar for their moment to shine. The weather has not cooperated, but it got very cold this week!
Start your ovens kind of weather!
Eat comfort foods kind of weather!
