TGIF and all that jazz. Pardon me while I give the coffee pot a rinse, then add fresh water and some generic coffee Mendella left under the counter. IMO, tea sippers can have strange taste in coffee so approach with caution. Fortunately, there's still some of Sara's scrumbdilious cookkies available so give them and the coffee (or tea now that I've remembered to put the kettle on) a try.

Hey, Bill. Looks like the coffee is ready. Thanks.

It was below freezing this morning. Luckily our Victor did his business quickly.

Hi peeps
A large tea would be great

A quiet Friday here not much going on and no plans to go anywhere.
Might get some writing done today.
The sun is shining and the birdies are chirping.
The neighbors are quiet as church mice at this point of the day so maybe it will stay that way.
I got cookies!
*filling the cookie jars* I think we have a cookie bandit
In Big Bird we have: fudgy chocolate cookies, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate chip cookies
In Cookie Monster we have silly

eanut butter blossoms, rocky road bar cookies, tropical angel cookies and cinnamon raisin snaps.

*giving the adorable mascots fresh water and treats *

Pretty quiet in my town.. Business as usual with the social distance guidelines.

Happy Friday and keep the faith ! hello1

Some coffee house appropriate music. This is Chase and Sierra Eagleson, a very talented brother and sister someone on another board introduced me, too.

Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?

Welcome to the weekend, to all Inspired Spacers.

Y'all might have noticed that our boss-in-chief didn't show up yesterday until after Sara restocked the cookie jars. Me, I don't blame him none. Might be the smartest thing he's done all week. ;)

Now let me check on the coffee pot and tea kettle. (ouch) Judging by the second degree burn on my fingertip, both the coffee and water are hot, as in 'very scalding' hot.

Hello, all. The coffee and the water do stay hot and ready around here.

For some reason, winter decided to return to our area. It was again below freezing for our walk this morning.

Morning tea time. Hello, all. Still gets below freezing here in the night, but we're getting double digit highs (in C) so spring seems to be happening.

Along the lines of coffee shop music, who knows Lissie? Like this?

New one on me, Anna, but thanks very much for the intro. Love that voice. She's perfect for covering Stevie Nicks, eh?

I've noticed there's a lot of good Fleetwood Mac covers going around these days. Really highlights how strong the writing was in that band during their prime.

Kettle's on for tea and hot chocolate. * scarfs a cookie *

Absolutely, Scott. This was what drew me to her at first but she has since shown what a natural acoustic talent she has.

How you all are? Ms Zing, that was a great post. Of course, dang near any post with a link to something by Joni Mitchell is a goodness. Combine that with the news about your 'Long Road Home' series and it becomes outstanding. smile

In the midst of my semi-brilliant blathering the coffee pot has been rinsed out, and resupplied with fresh water and medium roast 'Morning Blend' coffee and has just finished converting that into caffeinated ambrosia. Meanwhile, the tea kettle has hotted up a generous supply of water for our tea and coco users. Enjoy.

We did love Joni Mitchell back in the day.

Hello, all. Thanks for the coffee once again, Bill. You are not drawing double duty are you, both here and yonder?

I'm ready for some coffee that's for sure. How's everyone doing with their masks now?

Good afternoon. Housecleaning done, yard raked, just taking it easy and listening to some Lissie (see AnnaMayZing's post upthread).

Brewing some green tea and taking some of Sarah's cookies for an afternoon snack.

We've had record numbers of positive tests (21/day) the last two days here in London, Ontario but the province racked up a huge backlog early on that's been clearing out with new lab capacity coming online so some of the "new" local cases could be old and now recovered.

Confirmed cases: 134

Deaths: 5 confirmed

Recovered: 15 confirmed (i.e. had two negative tests more than 24 hours apart)

Hospitalized: 22, 10 in ICU

Whilst we sit back and relax with a double espresso, how about a little original Joni?
This is one of my favourites for it pure quirkiness. kekekegay

Not to mention the Cheech and Chong cameo. Lfunny

Can never have too much Joni Mitchell. Fell in love with her music back in the seventies when I was still a kid. I recall that in Grade 6, several musical groups from my school went up the street to a senior's home to perform for them and the choir did a setting of "Both Sides Now". Of course, Joni was still recording in that era and songs like Big Yellow Taxi and Free Man in Paris were getting airplay.

In the late nineties, when I was first getting involved with Unitarian Universalism, a couple from the church I was going to at the time performed this for a child dedication.

All this talk of Joni has prompted me to bring out my vinyl copy of Court and Spark.
I am now doing some serious chillin' as the disc rotates at 33 1/3 RPM. Damn... drifting back to those hot, heady days of '76 as a teenager in London. Those were the days.
There is something so therapeutic about an LP playing. Such wonderful memories...

I do miss vinyl from time to time. Don't have a record player anymore, though.

It's Monday. Sorry about that. The coffee pot has been cleaned, refilled with fresh water and medium roast coffee and then turned on, in an electrical sort of way. Do believe some of Sara's cookies are still available but their numbers may be dwindling, quick like. ;)

Y'all do the best you know how.

Thanks for the fresh coffee, Bill. I'll just sit here and relax this morning. I've written a little poem for my sister. I would love to see it posted soon.

It seems the virus has plateaued here in my county. No new cases for days. People seem to have believed that the disease is serious and they should treat it that way.

It is truly spring weather here. Even summer for a day or two.

A early morning and my tail is dragging.

Not much going on here.. I gotta venture out for groceries in a little bit. Hoping the store isn't too crowded.

I do have cookies today.
In Big Bird we have :fudgy chocolate, white macadamia nut, almond cookies and peanut butter and banana cookies.
In Cookie Monster we have : airy berry, almond kisses, pecan divines and angel crunch cookies
*giving the adorable mascots fresh water and treats *

Hope everyone is staying safe and sane! dog

Morning has broken -- down, that is. How-some-ever, Much to the joy of everyone else who enters this hallowed hall later today, there are more cookies in the cookie jars than even the most gluttonus of moderators can consume -- try though he may. ;)

Both the coffee pot and tea kettle are filled with hot liquids which, if properly prepared, may help ease your way into the rest of the day. Give it a try along with some of the remaining cookies. Later, y'all.
