A Pretty Picture on a Warm Spring Night

Rate: 12 Flag

 

tulip tree

 

I bought some tops and some cat food and went to see A Thousand Words, a movie I highly recommend. This was not typical Eddie Murphy comedy. Then came home to a pretty tree.

Have a wonderful evening.

 In this song, just change all of the pronouns: he = she, him = her, women = men, son = chick, and it becomes "Faster horses, younger men, older whiskey and more money."

looks, and sounds like a lovely day!
What a beautiful tree and a wonderful sounding day!
It was nice, and I feel so relaxed.
I envy you that tulip tree. Great song.
Frosty, it is a lovely tree. Sad, though, because it's under and around a power line so it will be gone one of these days.
Sounds like you and Zanelle liked this movie, perhaps it is worth a look.
So beautiful to see your blooming tree, it is truly a warm night here but the ice on the lake just went out today and blooms are still sleeping.
rated with love
RP, soon your spring will catch up with you. I believe you will like this movie. Very self-exploratory. Not his typical fare, which is probably why the critics panned it.
The tree is beautiful, I love how the colors of the sky and flowers play against each other.

Sounds like a good mother/son movie.
Oh my the Magnolias and this night are really splendid.

Asia, it could be a mother/ son movie. No sex or violence involved.

Algis, isn't it fun when conditions line up for a picture.
We used to have this kind of tree in out backyard in Sacramento... it made me sigh.
Mysterious photo and I'm so glad you liked the movie. It relaxed me too!
Brazen Princess, I hope it was a good sigh...

zanelle, it is kind of mysterious, shadows and light. And the movie. Yep, I'm very glad I went.
Eddie Murphy I have always seen as a kind of lost genius.
He helped me thru the 80's as an awkward
yet totally perverse teen.
Then he had some problems i guess, i dunno,
i don't pry into my stars' lives...
(what's with angie & brad? is she really only like 99 lbs now?)
i am glad Mr . Murphy has made a good movie,
and delighted that you had a great time experiencing it.

I DO NOT approve of changing pronouns.
If i did, it would be
a slippery slope.
What a lovely sight to come home to
~R~
James, I agree that Eddie started out good then went wrong somewhere. This movie was a nice surprise. Brad & Angie? I ignore them. And I only change pronouns in songs so I can sing them to the boys.

M. C. S., it is a very pretty tree.
Thanks for a peek at spring today...there's not a sign of it here.
It's snowing wildly again this afternoon....but at least the new rainboots are warm as I stack more firewood. : )
The one corner of the country that's freezing.
Maybe I'll get those plants and trees transplanted soon... I'll let your inspiration fuel my imagination for now...
What a great tree! Here is a present for getting your list done!

A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.


Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.


At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, “Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.”


“I have a better idea,” she replied. “Just for tonight, let’s pretend that we’re married.”


“Wow! That’s a great idea!” he exclaimed, thinking maybe she’d crawl in the bunk and warm him up.


“Good,” she said. “Get your own fucking blanket.”


After a moment of silence, he farted, rolled over and started to snore.
oh ok, re. pronouns.
as long as u are singing them.
Lovely.
Great joke, MM.
re. the power lines, can't you just prune the tree ?
Love that old Tom T. Hall song.
Love that old Tom T. Hall song.
JT, I read your post. Snow is normal for March but seems like another planet this year. Good thing you had those boots.

MM, another classic.

James, only when singing. Promise.

Kim, it does get pruned- huge notch in the middle of the tree. I just have to beg every time it needs done. Tired of it.

John, that is a good song.
