I wish he'd been around to - ahem - help!
Another busy day in the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers - I gave the bench a second coat of teak oil (after Madam Arcati had scrubbed all the algae off and given in a first coat on his day off on Monday), and more hardy geraniums and our favourite blue phlox have been split up and repotted - and all day it was so sunny and warm, it might have been early May!
Meanwhile...
On this International Women's Day, sharing a birthday are a raft of impressive women - including Cyd Charisse, "Little" Peggy March, Lynn Redgrave, Claire Trevor, Harriet Samuel (Victorian entrepreneur behind one of the UK's biggest jewellers, H. Samuel), Beatrice "Tilly" Shilling (pioneering British motorbike racer and aeronautical engineeer during WWII), Louise Beavers (prominent African-American actress, co-star in Imitation of Life)...
...and Carole Bayer Sager!
Here's the lady herself (with a sort-of-appropriate number):
Love it!
I have never seen her perform it (not that she was actually singing in the video, but it was fun). I love this! I need that gardener. No gardens, but still...
ReplyDeleteI could think of many uses I could put Eddie Cibrian (in his prime) to... Jx
DeleteI had only ever heard Bette Midler's version of that, but I've always liked it. It's such a clever piece of work.
ReplyDeleteIt was a big hit here in the UK - and I love it! Jx
DeleteThank you for all your hard work in the garden and I am so pleased the weather was so kind
ReplyDeleteand little bit of Carole Bayer Sager never did any harm
Happy International Women's Day
It's been a good day all round! Jx
DeleteIf Eddie Cibrian looking like that turned up, I'm quite sure that whatever gets done wouldn't be gardening...
ReplyDeleteAgreed; Jx
