Hannah came home from a yardsale today with this for me!
So now, when I do have my herbal teas, it's a reminder to stay raw!
What a sweetie, huh?
...& this is a piece of purple cabbage she couldn't bring herself to eat tonight cuz it looked like a little bird to her! (With the broccoli eye!) {Looks like a seahorse to me!} So we put it on my monitor with the rainbow she made me, & she sang, "Somewhere over the rainbow where purple birds fly..." {You can see it better if you click on it, it goes REAL big!)
Then we went & googled my absolute all-time favorite version of that song, done by an incredibly gifted woman who, sad to say, is no longer with us, but WOW, whatta voice! You GOTTA check this out!!!
Her name's Eva Cassidy...

This is a list of videos of people singing this song along with her, so moved were they by her version...
{...there's also the guitar karaoke version of her version on the list somewhere, with the lyrics, Hannah & I have been singing it all night as we're getting her ready for camp!}

Of course, this is a really wonderful version, too, from an amazing guy (Israel) from Hawaii, who also is no longer with us...{I hope his death wasn't weight related...he was so young!}
When a car company used his version of this song on their commercial, it was the only commercial I ever liked enough to wait for & turn up!!! & after that commercial, his music was discovered by the world! But alas, he'd already left this world...towards the end of this video, they're scattering his ashes...gets me crying every time...

Have a musical, peaceful, joyful rawlicious day!
