Seeds . . .

(from http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/seeds)
“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson

“Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.”
― Steve Maraboli

“You’re frustrated because you keep waiting for the blooming of flowers of which you have yet to sow the seeds.”
― Steve Maraboli

“Those candle flames were like the lives of men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they would destroy the very things they were meant to illuminate. Embryonic bonfires, each bearing a seed of destruction so potent it could tumble cities and dash kings to their knees.”
― Brandon Sanderson

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
― Anonymous, Holy Bible: King James Version

“It always amazes me to look at the little, wrinkled brown seeds and think of the rainbows in 'em," said Captain Jim. "When I ponder on them seeds I don't find it nowise hard to believe that we've got souls that'll live in other worlds. You couldn't hardly believe there was life in them tiny things, some no bigger than grains of dust, let alone colour and scent, if you hadn't seen the miracle, could you?”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams

Snow . . .

. . . is formed when temperatures are low and there is moisture - in the form of tiny ice crystals - in the atmosphere. When these tiny ice crystals collide they stick together in clouds to become snowflakes. If enough ice crystals stick together, they'll become heavy enough to fall to the ground.

Songs . . .

(from Baltimore's Ty Ford)
". . .Tuesday March 28 will be a special night for me. It will be the first in what I hope may be a series of songwriter showcases I'm helping to set up at Germano's in Little Italy. . . Earlier this year in talking with Cyd Wolf, Germano's Executive Producer after the "Old Part of Town" show, I mentioned singer/songwriters. Cyd said she'd like a Tuesday night event. I came back with the idea of four singer/songwriters, each one telling the story of how a song came to be and then playing it. Maybe a little audience Q&A after each song. Two rounds, a short break and then two more rounds. Not an original format, but one that has worked in Nashville (among other places) for years. . . I chose Singer/Songwriters Ellis Woodward, John M. Seay, Sahffi Lynne and Gonzo Jazz pianist Ray Jozwiak for the first flight. All seasoned artists. All with long lists of original material. All of whom, in my opinion, are hard workers at their craft and deserving of recognition. Please join me and these four fine artists. . . Please take a moment to put us on your calendar. You can make reservations right online right now at the link below. . . Tuesday March 28. Germano's Cabaret doors open at 6:00pm. Come, enjoy the lovely menu. The music starts at 7:30pm. Germano's Cabaret only seats 80. If you haven't been to a show there, you've missed a truly fine venue for intimate performances. See you there for this special night. . . Please forward this post if you will. Oh, and if you have thoughts of who you’d like to hear at the next event, please let me know!
https://www.facebook.com/events/1758634277789502/. . ."

I'll be there.

Spot . . .

". . . Attorney General Jeff Sessions's spokeswoman released a statement . . . after The Washington Post reported Sessions had spoken twice with Russia's ambassador last year — contacts he failed to disclose in his confirmation hearings. . .“I never met with any Russian officials to discuss the issues of the campaign,” Sessions said. “I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.”. . .This is a remarkably misleading non-denial denial. Sessions, in the course of three sentences, manufactures a straw man, props him up and then knocks him down. He is denying a report that doesn't exist. . ."

Laugh. . .

. . . not much else we can do . . . (we certainly can't take these people seriously. . . )
