Bawk or Is It Bok?

Chickens are good! We got the Meyer's Hatchery catalog in our mail last week. I think Syda may have been as excited as I am about the idea of having some hens of our own. It's still a project in the works, and a fun one to think about.

I'm really thankful for Wilco. Not that some tunes can fix all the world's problems, but they can certainly help with a serious case of the Mondays, and boy am I afflicted. If Wilco's not your thing, (what's wrong with you? Do you know what you're missing?!) there are plenty of other great act to check out via the link, such as: Florence & The Machine, Fleet Foxes, & Arcade Fire. If you don't like any of that, well go look up some tunes you do like. Or learn to love Wilco.

I'm also thankful for PBS and their sharing capabilities.

This is one of my all time favorite U2 songs, definitely in the top five. It's now ranking at number 1 because it has put Syda to sleep the last two nights. The song is sung from the point of view of a guardian angel and has always pulled me in for some reason. I stumbled across this great acoustic version from the Boston stop of the Elevation Tour. Got to love when any band strips things down to the basics, and as always, U2 fans know when to sing along.

Don't ever tell me that Zooropa was a crap album.

Snow....Glorious Snow

We've had to wait for snow a bit longer than usual up here this year. Yule was spent with some chilly temps, but no fluffy snow to enjoy. The freak Halloween snow storm that knocked out our power for two days was all we had seen of any precipitation until last week. Thankfully the snow started falling and the spirits of the little boys in this house were restored. We've only got about four inches now, thanks to some mild temps and rain, but it's sticking around. I'm sure we'll get more and be complaining of its intrusive power soon enough. Winter may have gotten off to a slow start in Maine this year, but that's not a problem, considering it has at least three more months to make its mark.
