Roberta Flack has died. Her beautiful voice was the voice of a generation, as an artist she was a brilliant musician, a huge soul and one of my earliest inspirations. How lucky we were to have her in our lives.

Got an Ironwood tree at Desert Survivors nursey. Of course that means digging a hole in the neutronium. 😐 In 30-40 years it will provide some nice shade. 😀 Desert Survivors is a #Tucson non-profit native plant nursery that provides jobs for disabled people.
