Spending my Saturday afternoon listening to Nina Simone's jazzy blues and reading a good book, The Help by Kathryn Sockett. This novel captured me at the first paragraph and it is written in the dialect of Southern Black women in the 60's who were domestic help.
My Nina Simone CD set is complements of Ryan. He got it for me for Christmas one year after I heard on CBS's Sunday Morning that she was one of the all time great Jazz singers. I expected one CD to see if I really liked her singing and Ryan got me the boxed set!
We have beautiful weather here today. I have the house opened up and the birds are singing and celebrating Springs arrival, but Monday is supposed to be stormy! We sure need rain though.
