"The Way It Seems To Go" - Rachael Yamagata

My friends become my foes
And my foes become my friends
I tend to fall in love with the girls
My boyfriend ends

I don't work 9 to 5
But I'll always work the weekends
And each time I'll get the world
In my fingers something happens

I'm working backwards, forwards
And left to right
And I'm pretty darn hard headed
But I can't make up my mind

I'll take a tragedy over a fairytale
But only when the sun is shining
I'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hour
I'm an expert in the silver lining

I'll be there when you need me
For all the big things
But I'm really pathetic at perfect timing
And that's the way it seems to go for me

I go to bed at 8 and wake up at 4.30
Most day I drink like a fish and tend to be too flirty
I am a perfectionist but only when things get dirty
I cannot stand small talk but I'm great at being wordy

And I'd rather leave you first
But then I'll be begging you to come back
And when I get real quiet
You know I'm about to attack

I'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the dark
But only when everyone's celebrating
I'll dig in to your pain and tear it apart
But only to help the heart that's breaking

I like to figure things out and make everything right
But I'm secretly thrilled when everything's changing
And that's the way it seems to go for me

If you fall for the part that's brooding and dark
You will never discover the rest of my heart
And I want you to see that there's so much to see
Just before I declare you never knew me

He's with the small stuff like the world around was over
I calm him down and we make breakfast for each other
Our friends all thought we fit so perfectly together
He likes what he can't have and I sure like bad weather

I may have left him first
But I think he'd been leaving for sometime
I feel like begging him to come back
But I can't make up my mind

I'll take a boxing match over the quiet night
But only to make for better dreams
I'll back the underdog in any fight
But only to fight for something worth keeping

I'm in it to win it, most of the time
And if it goes down I'll be kicking and screaming
And that's the way it seems to go for me
Yeah, and that's the way it seems to go for me
Whoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me

A little further along. Deepening the blues and yellows. Next step - the tree itself. FUN.

Diana

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And as the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels

When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, can't pull myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
Must get a new alibi, I stay at home
And ask myself where is he?
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Dry little teardrops, my little teardrops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, my little memories

Remind him of our crazy schemes

And somebody said just forget about him
I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I get along without him
Then one day he passed me right by

Oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Somebody said just forget about him

I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I get along without him
Then one day he passed me right by
Oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

Kayaking

This summer I've been lucky enough to keep my kayak at work and take it out after the work day. The Rehoboth Canal runs behind the Art League and you can paddle toward Gordon's Pond, toward Rehoboth, or straight back into the back bays toward Lewes. It's amazingly beautiful and peaceful. The other night, I had some visitors...the dog on the dock was desperate to jump in the kayak with me. He seemed to be impatient for his owner to get the boat ready, which was still tied to the dock. He ran along the canal with me as I paddled, then as you can see...stopped for a closer look.
The blue heron in this tree had just flown from the marsh reeds as I went by. If you've never been close to a Blue Heron, they are huge in person, with a really large wing span that makes a really cool noise when they flap. They seem prehistoric up close. I'd take a tiny kayak any day over a jet ski or power boat.

Gorgeous twins

I had a very difficult time seeing any difference between these identical twins. They were beautiful, happy and absolutely wanted the same design. Genetics are cool.
