YES OH YES!
my problem began a few months ago when i started using Google Reader. i thought i would save time by not checking individual sites, so i subscribed to any&all blogs that seemed interesting. BUT soon my blog list reached 100 . AH! inspiration overload!!

that Real Simple post was the wakeup call i needed.

now i'm downsizing my subscriptions to include only those i truly *love*

Part of a Legacy
by franke steele

I take pillows outdoors to sun them
as my mother did. "Keeps bedding fresh,"
she said. It was April then, too--
buttercups fluffing their frail sails,
one striped bee humming grudges, a crinkle
of jonquils. Weeds reclaimed bare ground.
All of these leaked somehow
into the pillows, looking odd where they
simmered all day, the size of hams, out of place
on grass. And at night I could feel
some part of my mother still with me
in the warmth of my face as I dreamed
baseball and honeysuckle, sleeping
on sunlight.

i do love the Walt Disney Concert Hall, but i'll send my vote out for my neighborhood favorite: the old Culver Hotel. not so flashy, but still strong & classy.
