La la, La la la la, La la la la la

I have a friend on Facebook who decided that today should be Positive Facebook Day.  I went ahead and changed it to Happy Facebook Day.

La la, La la la la, La la la la la.
La la, La la la la, La la la la la.
Sing a happy song.



Happy Facebook Day, Y'all!

Happy Spring

'Twas a foggy morning.  This little birdy decided to make me a pretty photograph..


Seems the fog has burned off - though I do still hear the foghorn in the background.

Hmm... Dylan


This evening piano practice evolved into this channeling of Bob Dylan, or something.  The strange thing is - Charlie had never heard of Bob Dylan until tonight when I told him he sounded like him. 

Am I the only one who thinks this is strange? 

This is the hip hop kid, the boy who loves Cee Lo, Maroon 5, and Blake Shelton.  (Can you guess why?) 

I knew he had music in his soul but I never imagined he would be singing like this.  Piano lessons were a really good move.

A song to compare with Bob Dylan Charlie... Bob Dylan and "I Want You."


And the credits, well they speak for themselves... youtube, Dylan... Probably in the reverse order.

Hello This Is Bob Dylan Charlie

Into the cave.  (Piano practice.)


What - a - ham.

A Little More Bob

In case that wasn't enough...

Bob Dylan Charlie

Piano practice this evening devolved (still searching for the right word, but I came up short) into this...


Regressed?

A Little More Spring Poking Up

About a week ago, before school, Charlie said something to me about the sounds of summer returning.  He is right, they are.  From the driveway, waiting for the bus between bounces of the basketball, you can hear boatyard commotion. 

These three photos show a bit more spring poking up.  The first is the faintest bit of red on the tree by the entrance to the Boatyard condo place.  And then of course, daffodils.

Signs of Spring

This morning while waiting for the bus, Charlie and I looked around for some signs of spring.  Later, I took a few photographs of what we saw. 





The first three are from our driveway.  The crocus is from the lawn a few houses down.  Rudy and I discovered it on our walk.

Rockin' It

Charlie style.  See what happens with no TV?




LOTS of Legos.  And a pensive Rude.

New To Skis

Today was Charlie's first day on skis - EVER.  And of course I forgot my memory chip at home.  But I did get some photos with my phone - so you will have to excuse the lack of zoom.  It is a funny sequence.  By the end of the day he was up to the rope tow - with some help from good ole Uncle Wes.  And an assist from Aunt Mary.  Thanks guys!

Charlie is in the BRIGHT orange and blue coat...


Moving Sidewalk?
  

Waiting His Turn?

Down


And Out (for the time being)

Earned His Poles

Wind in South Tampa

Last night the wind in South Tampa blew and blew.  Here is a shot Storm Team 8 WFLA-TV posted on Facebook.  Guess the damage ranged from Brandon to Palm Harbor - and more...
