flowers & music for procrastination

It seems that the longer my to do list gets, the better I get at putting it off. At least my 2009 photos and projects are getting organized.

Here is a little slideshow of pictures from my friend's garden in 2009, enhanced by Maid with the Flaxen Hair by Richard Stoltzman/Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra. (less than 3 minutes long)

Wow. That was breathtaking, beautiful and relaxing. It's awfully cold and snowy here and I amused myself this morning looking at spring flower pictures, imagining Spring instead of Winter.
Your video helped immensely. Thank you!

Oh I want to see this! Do you have it on a disc? On dial-up "you-tube" becomes "nah, nah, anybody BUT you-tube".

And yeah, sure know what you mean about procrastination. Today has been a really, really bad one for it.

Love the Debussy! And what wonderful flowers to be looking at in this Chicago cold spell!

PS: Let's see if we can get away with getting rid of to-do lists in 2010... :)
