I was reminded of this wonderful video on a French forum, and now I feel obligated to post it... for all the junk food fans (if there are any left):
MIAM!

Iron and Wine
Just thought I would mention one of my favorite artists, for once: Sam Beam, the man behind Iron and Wine. I have been listening to his stuff so much lately, and it's so beautiful, it feels unfair not to share with those of you who don't know about him yet! ;)
Sam Beam is a true gentle soul, a whisper in your ear; a soft, mellow voice and a gorgeous acoustic guitar. Words of hope and melancholy, of the beauty of simple things. So uplifting, yet so poignant. You finish an album with the thought "wow, we need more people like him"...
He has a new album out, called The Shepherd Dog, but I wanted to post the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of his, from the album Our Endless Numbered Days.
- Passing Afternoon -
There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon
Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon
And she chose a yard to burn but the ground remembers her
Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms
There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves
There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass
Springtime calls her children until she lets them go at last
And she's chosen where to be, though she's lost her wedding ring
Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds
There are things we can't recall,
Blind as night that finds us all,
Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls
But my hands remember hers, rolling around the shaded ferns
Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
There are names across the sea, only now I do believe
Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me
But she'll mend his tattered clothes and they'll kiss as if they know
A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone...

Scottish Wildcats
A fascinating species, on the verge of extinction... The website is very instructive, and the cats truly gorgeous and awe-some.

Chomp chomp chomp
I wish I could make longer videos with my crappy little camera... I could have had one instead of those two.
Anyhow... whoever said cats should eat kibble?!

Doggie update!
I have great news coming from the Bill Foundation who helped us rescuing Samantha and her puppies: Dundee and Darius have been adopted together a couple of weeks ago, by the veterinarian who gave them their check-up at the animal hospital - so they get to stay together, and get the best medical care ever :) No photos for now, but I hope to get some after the holidays...
Samantha thrived in her foster home, and rapidly turned into the gorgeous dog she was meant to be... Look at that smile, that beautiful fur and that confident expression! It is such a joy to see her so happy, with the love and care she deserves.
She recently got adopted by a very nice person, who is looking to adopt a second dog to give her a buddy. It doesn't get much better than this does it?

Sawyer and Mathilda are still living a happy, carefree life in their wonderful foster home... Sawyer's adoption is pending, he may well have found his perfect, forever home! Mathilda is the only one left, so if any of you need an adorable puppy to love and spoil...
How could you possibly resist those chubby faces?
