My friend Wendy has begun a lovely little blog called "Little Farm in the City" about her experience as...well....as so many things. I encourage you to visit.
Her recent post is on ratatouille, and how it seems to her like eating summer. Her writing reminded me of a song by Greg Brown called Canned Goods. It really is a beautiful and evocative song.
Peaches on the shelf
Potatoes in the bin
Supper's ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer,
Taste a little of the summer,
You can taste a little of the summer
my grandma's put it all in jars.
Here is a very passable rendition I found on You Tube. You can also listen to Greg himself doing it on Last FM or Lala.com
About Me
- Dubbahdee
- Live Free or Die, New Hampshire, United States
- Family guy, hurtling headlong through the late forties. Not complaining. Far from it. Life is what you make it, and life is good. I enjoy the love of one good woman. I revel in the joy of two strong and beautiful daughters. I delight in all that is true and good and beautiful. My business is all about words, ideas, and the business that they can create. My hobbies are mostly physical (except the ones that aren't), taken outdoors and often painful. I kind of like it that way. I'm not sure why. I just do. My faith is Christian and that makes me a sinner and a saint, swallowing the the Word, the Bread, and the Wine altogether, with the Nicene Creed for dessert, and all by the grace of Jesus. I'll converse about most anything, even if I don't know much about it. That's pretty much why I thought a blog might be a good idea.
