Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the laziest notes in town, and now it is time for you to post until the laziest cows in town come home.

So sorry I missed DR Jane last night. I anxiously await her return.

Does anyone think that the new mini-series The Andromeda Strain will be worth watching/taping?

Ack---I'm up, and caught up!

Saturday was a busy day, running errands all over Marietta, then going to the Decatur film festival to see a film Greg had worked on (we've seen it before but now it has a new score) and then meeting some preservationist friends over at the house of a cameraman I know who is taking on a massive restoration of his immense 1906 home, which is surrounded by an equally immense yard.

I missed DR Jeanne's birthday! Happy Birthday, Jeanne! Hope you had a fun day!

We spent about an hour touring the house. The folks had been there 5 years, but have spent most of those years stabilizing the house. It's amazing how many thousands of dollars they've spent, but you can't tell anything's been done! They are really doing it right---the house is lucky to have them. Most people would have bulldozed it and subdivided the lot.

I am so sorry to hear about Jane, and would be happy to loan her my LFB if he hadn't already returned to France.

I wish I had brought my camera, because after the house tour, we went acrosd the street to their friend's house, to see his garden. Wow!!!! I was amazed! This guy had bought his house 6 or 7 years ago. In that time, he had built a fabulous garden with lots of structures to house exotic birds, lizards and exotic fish. He had beautiful chickens wandering around the property, and un the aviarys there were all kinds of parrots, little quail, fancy phesants, and at the end of the property, a pair of very friendly emus. In the ponds were swans and fancy ducks. Surrounding the pond were very large metal sculptures--lifelike! A family of elephants who spewed water out of their trunks; an alligator lounging by one pond, an emu sculpture, life-sized, and one garden area was devoted to dinosaurs, including large metal ptyrodactyls hanging from trees. This part of town was hit hard but the hurricane, but if this garden sustained any damage, I didn't see it.

The garden was made even larger when the owner bought the house next door and expanded in the back of the next door lot. The lots are very deep, so he has restored the house and will sell it with the smaller yard, which is still plenty big.

It turned out that the owner used to live across the street from Greg when Greg lived a block away from the zoo. I used to hear this guy's big parrots screeching, and they would set off the peacock and other animals at the zoo. Apparently, dealing in rare fish and birds must be very lucrative.

The owner's college degree was in landscape architecture, so he has the best of both worlds. He gets to work with animals, which he loves, and then create this immense garden. Wow...he made me feel like such a slackard!

Afterwards, we all had dinner. I recommended a BBQ place I like nearby that they had never been to. We had a fabulous meal and they were all very happy to know about this place.

Yesterday, we decided to tackle some gardening after being inspired by what we saw, but mostly we were just removing vinca, violets and other stuff to prepare an area to relocate some irises I liberated from the chincy bassa's property before he destroyed everything.

Last night, one of the producers from the gardening show took my DH and I to see James Taylor in our outdoor amphitheatre. I've always liked JT...never had any of his albums, but my DH was a fan, so he was very happy he got to go.

JT was in very fine voice and had an excellent backup band and vocalists---12 in all, including his daughter. He was very generous to the crowd and came out about 10 minutes early from intermission to sign autographs and shake hands. He seemed genuinely appreciative of his audience. It was an excellent show with just the right selection of songs for the assembled crowd.

I never felt particularly moved, or excited by the music but it was enjoyable. One surprise was when he launched into "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning", with a very pretty arrangement and interesting chord voicings.
