Patty Griffin - Rain



It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Its hard to know when to give up the fight
Two things you want will just never be right
Its never rained like it has to night before
Now I don't wanna beg you baby
For something maybe you could never give
I'm not looking for the rest of your life
I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm holding on underneath this shroud
Rain

Strange how hard it rains now
Rows and rows of big dark clouds
When I'm still alive underneath this shroud
Rain Rain Rain

In google art today - little miss

google is celebrating the 76th birthday of Mr. Roger Hargreaves today! Here are a few of his illustrations google-fied! the first one is my favorite :)






daisies

@ helen's bridal shower
wore the vintage daisy Spring dress that my friend Lisa gave me
the fitting was perfect and the silk linings made it all-the-more comfortable wearing it!





what your heart thinks is great IS GREAT

taken in his car after extracting 9 tubes of blood at the doctor's office
i almost passed out immediately after he removed the needle, they had to wheel me into a 'pediatrics' room to rest.

when i got out of the hospital, he had JUST bought it and was 'caught' :)

great inspired ideas:

1. add feather/floral touch to an existing "old" dress to add some g.l.a.m.
2. modify white spaghetti strap dress with gold beats/bow and add sheer ruffles to it...

it's that kind of day....photo taken on the streets of Barcelona...

the embrace

did this watercolor over the weekend. was at home mostly, safe from the wet rain and storm outside. i saw the original (top) in a museum in Rome when i was studying abroad in Florence, Italy. touched me immensely at first glance.
