Bird carnage, old photos

F took pictures of this hawk for me before I woke up this morning. It's quite majestic, isn't it? I think that's a severed wing at its feet.

While I'm at it, here's what came out of those four-year old rolls of film:

• This is what happens when you don't develop film promptly.
  
• The piazza in the town where I worked four years ago.
  
• The Sartiglia in Oristano, Sardinia.
  
• Inside Camposanto Cemetery in Pisa.

I made a rhubarb-strawberry crisp today with rhubarb from the garden. It tastes good, but it's not very pretty.

Scythe & Spade

Haven't been around the computer much, as I've been busy digging trenches. The details are over at Scythe & Spade, my new gardening blog.

Lush fans may want to check out 4AD Rare, which has a Lush track for download this week (until Friday 5/13).

Everybody else out there is alive and well, I hope?
