Thursday Theme Song ~ Sept 8,2011

~~~


~~~

Lovely and talented
Ms Dolly Parton


"Love is like a butterfly
As soft and gentle as a sigh
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing."

Thursday Theme Song-(for June 30, 2011)

~~~




~~
Where have all the flowers gone...long time passing...


This is an old pictures (very poor quality) of my daughter Tina and me  in a field of wildflowers.



This is the property we bought in Ocala  (1972) where we would eventually build our home, but not until my kids were all grown up!  :(  However, our 'grands' mostly grew up here on this little farm!

This wildflower meadow has always been special to me - still is , to this day!

Thursday Theme Song

(from Facebook)
Spring flowers make me happy, and though my Wisteria is long past for this year I can almost smell the fragrance when looking at this picture from 2010.







Pictures of this flower always remind me, also, of Dan Fogelberg's beautiful song of the same name!
(video below)

Enjoy with me!

Thursday Theme Song~ ( for May 19,2011) "My Ride's Here"

~~~




~~
"My Ride's Here"

(Warren Zevon)


"...I said, "Man, I'd like to stay
But I'm bound for glory
I'm on my way
My ride's here..."







~This is from "Enjoy Every Sandwich," a tribute album  for Warren Zevon~

 (Bruce Springsteen)

 


Warren William Zevon 
(January 24, 1947 – September 7, 2003)

~
Warren Zevon's final album. "The Wind" was worked on and completed the months before his death in 2003. Many well known artists, and friends of Warren in the music business, were with him to the end of this final project. I, so, admired Warren's courage and determination in doing this, and I admired the friends who stood beside him and helped him make this possible!
This is an excellent album and very touching to get through...knowing the circumstances.
It's an album I cherish!



Warren Zevon~
another Music Man who left us much too soon!

"Look a- younder comin'... comin' down that railroad track..."




Well, actually, this is not the Orange Blossom Special- but it IS Florida  ~ a mile down the road from where we live!

~~
Lyrics
Johnny Cash

Look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
Hey, look a-yonder comin'
Comin' down that railroad track
It's the Orange Blossom Special
Bringin' my baby back

Well, I'm going down to Florida

And get some sand in my shoes
Or maybe Californy
And get some sand in my shoes
I'll ride that Orange Blossom Special
And lose these New York blues

"Say man, when you going back to Florida?"

"When am I goin' back to Florida? I don't know, don't reckon I ever will."
"Ain't you worried about getting your nourishment in New York?"
"Well, I don't care if I do-die-do-die-do-die-do-die."

Hey talk about a-ramblin'

She's the fastest train on the line
Talk about a-travellin'
She's the fastest train on the line
It's that Orange Blossom Special
Rollin' down the seaboard line




~~

Florida State Flower

Thursday Theme Song! Mar 10, 2011 "To The Morning"


***







 "Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops."






(Complete lyrics to this beautiful song below)




( click on Youtube for more info on this vid)


To The Morning
Dan Fogelberg
 Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops.

Cloudy and warm

Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning.

Chorus

And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning.

Yes it's going to be a day

There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning.

Waiting for mail

Maybe a tale
From an old friend
Or even a lover.

Sometimes there's none

But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written.

And maybe there are seasons

And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange.

The sounds of the day

They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow.

When day will break

And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize

That it's going to be a day

There is really no way to say no
To the morning.

Yes it's going to be a day

There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning.

Thursday Theme Song~ Silver Morning-Kenny Rankin

 ~~~





~
Early this morning I walked outside and snapped this scene of my new day. I had missed the actual sunrise but the early morning sun cast a lovely glow across the dew covered grass.

I immediately thought of this beautiful song by Kenny Rankin.

Lyrics ~ Kenny Rankin

"I am walking through a silver morning and I feel the music inside me"


 Enjoy!


I have this album from the 70s.  Kenny Rankin was one of my favorites back in those days.
My son, Chris, had brought his music to my attention, knowing I would love it! I have several of his albums...but you know how it is with albums...we tend to neglect playing them often enough these days.
( cds are easier)
What a shame!

Now that this morning has reminded me,  I will want to  listen to some more of my albums and favorite Kenny Rankin songs.

Speaking of 'silver,' what a silvery voice this man had!!

Sadly, Kenny Rankin passed away recently.
(February 10, 1940 - June 7, 2009)


Hope you like this!
Love,
Junie

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

You were only waiting for this moment to arise."

Thursday's Theme Song ~ 2-10-11

 ~

 

This is a new (for me) Meme I saw at our blog friend Carletta's place. It looks like fun!

(go here for more posts on this  and to learn how to join in the fun!)

~

These lyrics popped into my head from a song by Jackson Browne, "These Days."

"Don't confront me with my failures, I had not forgotten them."

~~

This is an old post about a silly mistake (failure) that happened to me in the past!


I thought it fit that part of the lyrics well.

 

(OK....speaking of silly mistakes...here is one from last August!!)

Spray cans


...and cooking eggs...


Oh, my goodness! Yer gonna LOL at this...maybe even ROTF!

Yer gonna say,"Poor Junie Rose - she's losing it!"

You might even jump to the conclusion that I'm getting old and senile! :)
(...but you'd be wrong , there!!!! haha!)

~~~

OK~ I have to say my day got off to a bit of a slippery start today.
Let me explain!

I was rushed this morning -knowing I had a whole lot of shopping to do- but I needed to eat a little breakfast before leaving. I thought a fried egg on toast would be just the thing!

I get my fry pan out and go through the routine of spraying lightly with cooking spray. I then put a pat of butter, also, in the center of the pan. (I love eggs fried in butter) I break my egg into the pan-and then break the yolk for the way I like my eggs! (cooked well done)

I quickly turn to the opposite side of the room where my toaster is and drop in one slice of bread!

Suddenly I smell this pleasant but unrecognizable scent...not at all like an egg frying in butter!

I check my egg and it looked like a normal egg starting to cook...but...WHAT the heck!!

Then it dawned on me what happened...and I was immediately laughing out loud at the absurdity of the whole thing!!

I had used this to spray into my fry pan! :) The back side was to me...lol- not the side that boldly said, 'Pledge Wax!'


You see- I had used this to clean my counters last night- but neglected to put it away. It was sitting near the stove sooo...
(Could happen to anyone-RIGHT???)

Funny thing was-I believe that egg would have cooked right on in that spray Pledge wax! :) Smelled heavenly, too!

Don't worry, tho, I threw it out and started over in a fresh pan and with this!
:)



Seeing the 2 cans together you can see they are of similar size...tho nothing alike in color or design!



....but-this was a new brand of cooking spray for me and I was not that familiar with the look of it....
( more excuses)
Oh, well!


(maybe the old girl is losing it!)
