" A Lamb of A Day"
I know, I know, stay off the PC woman! But..........
While checking my e-mail this morning I was treated to a beautiful March 1st sky by Mother Nature! I just had to share! Not a leaf is moving, the weather man took the snow chance tomorrow OUT of the forecast, it looks to be a beautiful day! In like a lamb, out like a lion!
Last night I took this of the moon reflecting on the pond..................
Thank you for all the advice about my back problem! I should have explained that I have 3 herniated disc from a car accident in 2001. I have thus far avoided surgery because I'm afraid it will make it worse. I had an MRI 6 months ago which showed NO nerve compression even though my back constantly stung and burned. I'm told by the Orthopedic Surgeon that an MRI doesn't always show nerve damage. So now I'll get the contrast myelogram which he says WILL detect it. In the meantime I'm to take it easy! That my friends is harder for me than putting up with the pain! I'll be around..................

Donny And Marie: Toothy Grin, Squeaky Clean!
The call to gather round the TV set was, "I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock n roll..." It was around the mid-seventies, when the toothy pair (image) appeared on Singapore's small screen. By then our Singapore 60s musicians and guitar groups had either settled in or quit the scene after the great clamp-down. And to those glued to the home screen, *Donny and Marie were no "yellow culture" pair.The cliche, "squeaky clean" would clearly describe them and with songs like, Puppy Love and Paper Roses, they became a hit with our local audiences. With strong family backing and brothers *The Osmonds, blogger watched in amazement as they appeared week after week singing oldies and newbies. The Donny And Marie Show was something different to our local couch potatoes.
*Donny Osmond's career as a singer and former teen idol began with his brothers. His best known songs include, Sweet And Innocent (1971), Go Away Little Girl (1971), and Puppy Love (1972). He also popularised Any Dream Will Do written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice for the 1968 musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It is the opening song of the musical, sung by the title character Joseph.
Blogger can only remember Marie Osmond singing a cover, Paper Roses (1973) made famous by Anita Bryant in 1960. With 142 albums the Osmonds have sold 100 million copies, 51 of which have gone Gold or Platinum. Whatever the formula is, they are still a hit when they sing as a duo or when together as family, even up till today.
The Osmonds appeared in their 50th Anniversary World Tour on 17th June, 2008 at The Singapore Indoor Stadium at Kallang. Do you still remember this family? Would you say they made an influence on Singapore's local music scene? Comments?
(Latest media report: Marie Osmond's son Michael Blosil (18), has just passed away.)

Forex: Oil Extends Gains On Stronger Economic Data
(RTTNews) - Oil prices held on to gains and sustained above $77 a barrel Wednesday, finding support in positive housing and industrial data from the US, which encouraged hopes of a faster economic recovery in the major consumer. But the gains were capped by a resurgent greenback.
Crude oil for delivery in March settled $0.32 higher at $77.33 per barrel in the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Traders are awaiting the release of weekly inventory data for further direction. The American Petroleum Institute is due to report its inventory update this afternoon, while an official report from the US Energy Department will be released on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar reversed Tuesday's losses against its European counterpart after data showed housing starts and industrial output in the US exceeded analyst expectations.
Housing starts increased by a bigger-than-expected 2.8% in January to an annual rate of 591,000, according to a release from the US Commerce Department.
In a separate report, the US Federal Reserve said the country's industrial production grew 0.9% in January, topping analysts' forecasts for a 0.7% increase.

" Frosty Mor'n "
Today being the last day of February, I'm really dreaming about Spring. Warm sunny days to dig in the dirt...........I ventured out this morning to find the farm covered in frost.......
I can't complain as some of you have been knee deep in snow for weeks now.........
However I am proud to say so long to February and the fury she has shown..........
This flower bed struggling to grow is frosted over..........
A thin sheet of ice covers the bird bath...........
This morning I let the chickens out for the first time!!
Let's hope Max will be able to get them back in by dusk.............
We had to buy more hay this week as winter has lasted longer than normal.....

It's frosty hay this morning......
The cattle are wondering why I'm out so early.............
Big Momma had a baby calf yesterday.............
I think the cattle are wishing for Spring and some tender grass to chew on...........
I've been suffering for the past few weeks with back problems that have now started to affect my shoulder and left arm. I lost the feeling in my left pinkie and my left hand tingles like it's asleep most of the time. I'm left handed so it's a real problem. I went to the doctor this week and I'm scheduled for a myelogram. In the meantime he wants me to stay off the keyboard as much as possible because that seems to make it really flare up. So I'm going to be scarce around the blog world for awhile. Just this little bit already has my back feeling like it has fingers crawling all over it. If any of you suffer with this also I'd appreciate advice. I'm too chicken to have surgery but it may be in my near future.
Have a great week everyone!
