Today the Monarch Scientist and I are going to look for monarchs at the river. She was afraid they would have all died in The Big Freeze last week, but she spotted a couple yesterday. I will have a full report this evening, whether you want one or not.

:)  And I want a report.

Well, yesterday I had my bi-annual stress test.  I managed to pass with flying colors despite stressing out over having to sit waiting for umpteen hours having to watch daytime TV.

I just got the word that Miss Molly Brown is in recovery and doing well.  Sometime after noon tomorrow she may return home. 

Good news!!! :D

The male and female in the first photo were mating yesterday, so we planted several more milkweed plants with fresh new growth for her to lay eggs on.

So they made it through the cold snap, whew!  

:D  Wonderful photos.  I think it is fascinating you can find the monarchs with their tags.

It is a beautiful photo, and she is a beautiful woman.

She sure is, God love her! I miss her.

Aww.  You are very lucky to have such a wonderful god daughter, but then you know that. :)

They were way up in the tree. How she discovered them I'll never know.

We had snow on the ground this morning which I'm pleased to say quickly melted.  The snow covered mountains are a joy to see.

I ordered ANGLE OF REPOSE from the library & it has already been shipped, except I don't want to read it yet.  I had planned to read this as a possible pick for my next book.  Today the woman hosting the June gathering said it is her favorite book & I suggested she take it.  Over the weekend I gave a gem of a book, THE CELLIST OF SARAJEVO, to the person who needed to make a decision for March and she loved it.  Now I need to continue my search.  I only have seven months to make a decision.

If only we didn't have the paperback rule I think I would go with UNBROKEN.  I put that on my library queue & there are only 70 people ahead of me.  By the time it is available it just might be out in paperback.

Seventy-three hours into the movie "Star" and Richard Crenna arrives. That must mean a few more days to go before this one ends. Or does it ever end? It hasn't really started yet. Well, nothing terribly interesting.

At least "Star" ends with some Kurt Weill.

Why do you have a paperback rule? Do most people buy the books and not take them out from the library?  Or does everybody live so close to each other in your group that they would all be from the same library!

With my former book club, the rule was that the library had to have the correct number of copies available. though at least one member bought hers each time.

They totally ignore Gertrude's affair with Daphne duMaurier or her early attempts to get into Noel's pants, as well as Richard Aldrich's sexuality. That might have spiced the movie up!

As for last night's Liver and Onions discussion...

My mom and dad would occasionally make Liver and Onions for dinner while we were growing up. And there's actually an "official" Filipino version of liver and onions - I think it's just the addition of garlic and some vinegar. However, I can't remember the last time I had calf's liver and onions.  Hmm... Chicken livers, however, are a different story.



The 13 Coins Restaurant in Seattle has a wonderful sauté of chicken livers, mushrooms and onions.

It might have. So might a script, a director, a choreographer and a costume designer.

"The Saga of Jenny" is the nadir for me; it looks nothing like LADY IN THE DARK. I did like some of the numbers although I've really repressed most of the film. I remember I liked it better than FUNNY GIRL and HELLO DOLLY!

That reminds me. Sunday I asked the church treasurer about the W2 for taxes, and she didn't know what I was talking about.
