McCleary Musings

The end of diesel gas at Cheema

The start of pink blossoms and the start of a pink sunset sky

Apr. 15, 2013.

Nick Drake:

Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink Moon gonna get ye all
And it's a pink moon

Yes, a pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon

Razors and Red Flags
