Laurie Anderson will be in Lawrence Kansas this Friday for her Homeland tour. I saw her just after I got out of college and she was fantastic. Her new tour Homeland explores the world as it has evolved since September 11th, 2001. Laurie Anderson looks at contemporary culture through two filters - the filters of love and war in Homeland.

Apparently she uses less multi-media in Homeland (than in previous performances) and has more of a focus on the words and music.

From looking at her website, she has re-mastered ”Big Science” and I would be interested in hearing the difference it makes in the sound quality. Big Science has always been my favorite of hers.

My friend Jim is 59 today and he doesn’t look a day over 40! Everyone join me in wishing him a day filled with friendship, food, and fun!

Okay. It stopped raining enough that this morning I was able to run outside and take the pictures of Shannon’s Fall Garden. There was quite a bit of dew on the plants and the flash picked it up and made it look more like frost but it isn’t.

I was able to get a picture of our humming bird. It’s not the best because it’s shot through the kitchen windows screen but you get the idea.

Good thing I got the pics taken this morning because it’s raining now. We have had a ton of rain this week. Nothing damaging - just a nice gentle rain every day.

I was going to take pictures of Shannon’s Fall Garden but it hasn’t stopped raining enough for me to do so.

I surprised Shannon with a Humming Bird Feeder. We have been wanting to get one for months now and Shannon has even seen a few fly around the back yard. I got one at the Ace Hardware Saturday and it was on sale. I put it on the kitchen window with a cool suction cup hanger that sticks right to the glass of the window. I went inside to see if it was in the correct spot and if I should move it up. While I stood there trying to decide if it should move up or over a humming bird flew right up and started in on the nectar! It wasn’t even up for 5 minutes yet!

It appears to be the same little female humming bird that is feeding. We will hopefully get more humming birds next Spring.

If it stops raining long enough for the sun to come out I’ll take pictures of Shannon’s Fall Garden. He got everything planted in two long beds and it only took him two days to do it.

Shannon bought a ton of plants to put into a new Fall garden area he plans to dig up on Sunday. There will be all sorts of good stuff (if it grows). Cabbage, Broccoli, hot pepper plants (not for me!), and other decorative neat looking stuff. I’ll take pictures and add them to the ol’ blog this weekend.
