someone alert the former governor general

not long for this world

Because it is finally time for this barn to come down. And we all know that everyone, including former Governors General, loves to tear down a barn.

And because it’s still awesome after all these years, and because we try to keep our CanCon percentages high here at jodi’s weblog headquarters, you can visit this old post to watch the classic “Adrienne Clarkson tearing down a barn” number.

It’s funny how someone who was a television broadcaster for so many years can be such a bad actor.

Our friend brought us here to look at the monuments to Milwaukee’s beer barons. It’s a fascinating and lovely place, in which I could happily while away many peaceful afternoons mooning about the beautiful statuary, running my fingers over names and dates, and reflecting on the everlasting excess of some very wealthy people, all dust. It’s also a place that strengthens my resolve to be cremated and buried without fanfare in a paper bag in my back garden (I’d skip the cremation and just get myself interred out there naked and ready to feed the flowers, like all the kitties I’ve buried there, except apparently that’s illegal).

25 second exposure off the front porch

A 25 second exposure taken from the front porch railing just after the sun went down. While the shutter was open Peter came home on his bike, riding towards the house up that cross street opposite then turning and riding across the frame from right to left, leaving no trace.

preppy

This pink and green terrazzo reminds me of high school. It seemed an appropriate colour combination to run across while visiting my dear old friend and cousin-by-marriage, Mary, who I first met when we were fresh and sassy high school art students.

On one of those brisk fall mornings where even though rain is falling, the light is the brightest, most clear light you see all year.
