Bulb-planting day

Mid-October is bulb-planting time. This year we ordered more than ever before. Today, in the cool sun, we planted 50 King Alfred daffodils. In the damp soil on little pillows of dried crab/lobster pieces, dried kelp, and peat moss. Tomorrow we plant Narcissus and Crocus bulbs. Liking fall and thinking spring all at the same time.

The new world of movies...

streaming movies from NetFlix, that is. I'm an instant convert. Been home with a nasty cold all weekend and today. Last night I watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Heavy.
Today:
Iron Man. Oh yeah--boy toys times CGI equals big fun. Quel suit.
180 degrees South. Rapa Nui, Santiago, and Douglas Tompkins parque south of Puerto Montt in the Chilean Patagonia. Never thought I'd see that in a movie.
Being John Malkovich. A re-watch and well worth it.

If you have to be sick, this is a good way to improve the experience. FFFF. The new iMac as entertainment outpost.
