It's such a beautiful day and I am a bit down about having to go in to work and make stew. So I thought I needed a boost. I opened i-Tunes, said a little prayer for Steve Jobs, and put on a Beatles oldies playlist. Wow, music can really turn around your outlook. It always amazes me how you can remember exactly where you where and with whom after hearing just the first few bars of a song.

Please Mr. Postman, Twist and Shout, Imagine, Hey Jude ...

I did put my garden to bed yesterday and while it was a bit sad I am glad to have that chore done. And I planted some grass in a few bare spots. Let me tell you, grass is the most gratifying thing I have ever grown. After a couple of days the little blades will start to sprout and then more and more.  

A new day begins; hope yours is a good one.
