All of my neighbors have gone so way overboard with the planting this year. Day lilies seem to be a particular favorite. Maybe I’ll get around to planting one of these days…

But I’m not slow picking up Alice in Wonderland on DVD! Check out this clip with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s drawings of the Mad Hatter. 

Who knew that Johnny could paint? (Is it a coincidence that Tim Burton’s hair resembles the trees in the background?) Oh, and one more discovery today — His Holiness tweets. Yes, the Big Man of the Buddha has a Twitter account. I was so tickled that I almost wasn’t upset to learn that Federer was ousted from the French. Almost. The streak of 23 straight Grand Slam semi-final appearances is actually over. Such a bummer. You’re still the man, Fed.
