Just a wee hello out into the void or perhaps not so. My blog friend Jeanne of I dream of put the fear into me that I had, indeed dropped off the Blogger Dashboard. Off the dashboard and into the fire? I certainly hope not. But while I realize that this may be a sort of “what is the sound of one hand clapping?” kind of proposition, would anyone that does see this mind letting me know if I am indeed “still here”? I actually thought of calling this post something of the sort but was all too aware that I would be called out for going “deep” yet again. Sigh. My friends. I have had so much goodness coming from you all of late. And for those of you that have asked for larger photos, well, as you can see, it is possible, although they won’t stay at this XL size any more than the gorgeous pivoines could stay with us forever. If only.
And as it is a mega rarity that I put out such a random post, I will take advantage by wondering what music are you listening to right now? I would love to know!
Thanks for being here…
*Update: You are all so amazing! Thank you for the reassurance. Must have just been a coincidence of a drop in visits and Jeanne’s question. But I need to go missing more often. Especially if it is an excuse to hear what you are all listening to–I love how the choices fit so perfectly each persons personality. Brilllliant! *

No one better dare laugh at you Sanda! I call the dashboard my main blogger page. Where I go to write new posts and that shows the updates on all of the blogs that I follow.
And thank you for the reminder to listen to Bach with your suggestions in mind!
I am laughing now as everyone's music couldn't be more them. Gros bisous, Contessa.
You promise? I love your choice, very you!!
Yep, I do believe you win in the random department, Sue.
Gros Bisous à toi–how did your exams go?
Thanks for the support Wyn! I always love hearing from you–like a burst of vitamin C!
I think you should have written "duh" instead of "of course, Jules. Heehee.
Hello Heather:
Well, thankfully, you regularly pop up into our life!
Your Peonies are such bowls of beauty…if only this were a scratch and sniff post!!!
We are listening to Kathleen Ferrier 'What is Life Without Thee'!!!
All seems to be back to normal, your post today popped right up, and there you are back on the list of blogs I follow. And so glad that I was the only one who had a Heather outage! It was the weirdest thing… and I swear there was no wine involved. I blame the Blogger Gremlins. Lovely peonies! And Pink Martini on the stereo! XO
You are still here- just very ethereal…just like your beautiful peonies.
As for music, My choices are so wildly random I'm almost embarrassed to share; having just watched "Out of Africa" for the gazillionth time, I'm listening to that around the house, along with vintage "Crowed House" , "David Bowie "Hunky Dory" and in the car, "TV on the Radio" (so love them, but definitely an acquired taste and not for everyone) and then of course, Rita Wilson' new CD "Rita Wilson Am/Fm"
Just asked my son for new suggestions so I should be getting that list , oh, in about 9 months…
xx

PS. Adding "Lost in Arles" to my "Slim's Pickings"

I receive an e-mail each time you post. Now I'm going to show my ignorance as someone new to blogging. What's a dashboard? (I can hear everyone laughing) If it is the "Blogs I follow" list, for some strange reason your blog name has has never shown up on my blog front page, but if I go to my profile page, your blog is listed. This is strange, don't you think? Love the picture today. Peonies are one of my favorites; smell divine. Music: I am still listening to Bach each day. Also Llewellyn's "Reiki Healing Journey," wonderful New Age music for relaxation.
