I had forgotten all about Beetlejuice. There might be a fair many of them around. Have a great night.

Glad your teeth dreams stopped. They can be quite disconcerting. I've had a few of those, myself, but not anymore.

In response to "Buzzing Bumbles and Soaking Rains "

I had the most amazing experience with a honey bee. I was sitting outside when I was still in Jersey. A honey bee was flitting around my strawberry plants and I was waiting to water the plant after the bee moved. It finally did and when I began watering it came back and flew in and out of the spray. When I stopped it landed on my hand with the hose in it. I didn't dare move. For those few seconds I felt the bees energy. The wings were like a soft caress.
I don't know if it was the same bee that visited again when I watered but the bee was never afraid of me.

Watching the monsoon from indoors must be some experience! Coffee and a good book is always a nice choice. I like rain and sunshine, both in bearable doses, however.

Prosperous Snow celebrating

Don't worry about a prayer limit, there isn't one. We could say a thousand prayers a day for a year and still not reach a prayer limit. God's mercy is unlimited and so is the amount of prayers we say.

Awww! Northeast Spring! Lucky you!

You took me back to 30 plus years ago, plus the five senses...
Everything seemed to come alive after the cold winters, there.

And yes, I used to love autumn, too. We don't have that array of colors when the leaves are changing here in down south, at all. I think I miss northern autumns more than its springs.

In response to "Pies and Intimidation "

I've worked with a lot of men over the years, I found they appreciated me being open about what I knew and what I didn't.

Lemon meringue and key lime were my grammy's specialty. I never mastered making them myself. I agree with your hubby about Maine blueberries, they're the best. I'm prejudice about blueberries, I'm a Mainer or as we call ourselves Mainacs.

Fen 15th, Entry 8, Jane Says - Jane's Addiction

Soundtrack of my Life Challenge
Feb 15th, Entry 8, Jane Says - Jane's Addiction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7Q_8q3XXrQ

The discovery of Jane's Addiction will always be indelibly coupled with my teenage rebellion. It was the first album cover I had to hide from my parents and Perry Farrell became my whirling dervish spirit guide on my journey of self-discovery. Jane's Addiction was my gateway band, my musical coming out party in a way. This song in particular was a way to look at my dark parts and celebrate them. Jane's Addiction's lyrics were dangerous and exciting, sexually charged and shameless. Farrell always delivered them with a bohemian edge wrapped in a vocal proneness I hadn't heard before. It hadn't sounded like any music I'd heard before and it was love at first site. The exploits of Farrell's off stage behavior fueled that sense of taboo that I was drawn too. It was suddenly cool and okay not to just be the child raised on classic rock and Amy Grant. This was my own sound, my own blend of bad and free. Its hard not to hear those steel drums in this song and now remember how they made me feel, like something was being awakened.

Feb 13th, Entry #7 Under Pressure -Bowie and Mercury

Soundtrack of Life Challenge
Feb 13th, Entry #7
Under Pressure - David Bowie/Freddy Mercury

https://www.youtube.com/watch/YoDh_gHDvkk

The song is a divine marriage of Freddy's powerful presence and David Bowie's eternal coolness. It marks a place on my 100 most favorite tunes of all time. It is timeless and relevant - despite the fact that both artists are deceased. I love it not just because of because of the novelty of hearing these two mega stars coming together, but to do so on a track and over lyrics that posses and overwhelming "everyman" quality.- Its the kind of song you instinctively turn up when it comes on. It is the kind of song to sing along too, take a measure of comfort from.

My 11 year old daughter has recently discovered Queen and this song numbers among her favorites. She's not 100% sold on Bowie yet but I'm giving her the time to discover him in her own time. She has a pretty refined musical pallet and I know she will get there. I feel like "Under Pressure" could be the gateway tune to Ziggy and the Spiders from Mars...
