more filibuster interludes.....

ok, so the derby was great....a 50-1 longshot ridden by a jockey named smith who had ridden at least 2 second place derby contenders in his past.......the horse, giacomo, is owned by a record company owner and is named after sting's 9 year old son.....how's that for trivia.......and george steinbrenner's horse, bellamy road- the favorite- failed to even place.....which sounds about right considering his nyy team this year.......ah well......and so today is mother's day......and as i blog i am fixing my own breakfast......and working on lunch.......my family doesn't subscribe to the notion of fixing mom breakfast in bed......at this point i believe that they avoid such tributes because the shock would probably kill me and then where would they be?......i do have a rose blooming today......stanwell perpetual.....i am releaved to see this rose bloom, as i moved it from a badly chosen location to a sunnier one....and the roots weren't as complete as they should have been once i got it out of the ground........hopefully it will thrive....and expand to it's potential......the stanwell perpetual i saw years ago at hidcote garden was huge........ah well......my breakfast calls.....
