Just something short, because in about an hour and a half we have to drive to Birmingham for another doctor's appointment. I am neither awake nor dressed just yet.

I am presently adoring PJ Harvey's White Chalk (2007), which I only finally got around to listening to yesterday. As a long-time admirer of her work, I think this is surely one of her best albums. It's like a whisper in the wind, I think. And I have a feeling that a lot of Joey Lafaye will now be written to this album.

Earliest spring seems to have begun here in Atlanta. Mid-seventies (F) yesterday and today, though we'll have 50s next week.

We do have eBay auctions going, and Spooky's listed a new doll on Etsy. You might have a look.

The best part of yesterday? Sitting on the front porch, watching Spooky stuff a pin cushion with dried lavender.
