Okra

I never tire of seeing these okra flowers in my garden. They are stunning. Okra leaves, on the other hand, are something I could do without. They are sharp and feel like fiberglass on the skin. This has been my most productive plant to date, but the tomatoes are finally starting to turn and I think they may surpass the okra in productivity.

Stevie Wonder – Funerals

Whitney Houston’s funeral was today and I watched Stevie Wonder’s performance of a modified “Ribbon in the Sky.” It reminds me of him giving an amazing performance at Michael Jackson’s funeral.

At which funeral will he sing next? More importantly, who will sing at his funeral? Who is going to give the “Stevie Wonder performance” at Stevie Wonder’s funeral?

Robyn – SNL, Cover, Swoon Face

Robyn was on SNL over the weekend and performed Call Your Girlfriend and Dancin on My Own from her 2010 Body Talk album. She killed it!

After checking that out see her do a cover of Alicia Keys’s (s’? ‘s? s’s?) Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart for an iheartradio performance.

And if that’s not enough, watch Who’s That Girl? over on YouTube. The feeling I get when I see the face she makes at :16-:17 confirms I have a crush on this girl. Swoon!
