ELLEN, on your birthday, we thank you for creating your Gardens of Eden & Eating...

Ellen, with every visit to your home, Eileen and I feel like we're going back to the Garden...


...surrounded, as we are, by all your bountiful and beautiful growing things not only outside...BUT INSIDE your home...


...and complemented by the delicious foods on your table...


Thomas Kinkade: Painter of LIGHT




I chose this next image and the next song that follows because it features two singers - one male, one female - more accurately reflecting the nature of the Mystery that began life here on Earth...


...As I now see it..."G-d" hit the "PLAY" button and the Song of the Universe began...




"God's recreation"...sounds like a playground...Eden saw play...


...So, let us PLAY...




Sing Along Time


I'm providing the words so Arlo won't make an example of anyone he spots who's NOT singing along...


Garden Song - Arlo Guthrie


Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please keep them safe below

'Til the rain comes tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones

We are made of dreams and bones

Need a place to call my own

'Cause the time is close at hand


Grain for grain, sun and rain

Find my way in nature's chain

Till my body and my brain

Tell the music of the land

Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground

Plant your rows straight and long

Season with a prayer and song

Mother Earth will make you strong

If you give her loving care

Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground

Slug by slug, weed by weed

Boy this garden's got me t'd

All the insects come to feed

On my tomato plants

Sunburnt face, skinned up knees

The kitchen's chocked with zucchinis

I'm shopping at the A&P's

Next time I get the chance

Old crow watching from a tree

He's got his hungry eye on me

In my garden I'm as free

As that feathered thief up there


Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground


...Like father...like son...




Finding Shelter in our Gardens








Reminding us of whose lands we are walking on...




DESSERT TIME


Wishing you 78 more revolutions around the SUN...
