Fall Swings

Its autumnal these days weather-wise. Yesterday was nearly cold, with a high of 56F (13C). This morning, it was 38F (3C) when I headed out for my run. Time for an ear band and light gloves. The paper says that today’s high is predicted to be 86F (30C)! That’s an enormous temperature range to happen […]

Ah, Poor Bird

Ah poor bird Take thy flight High above the sorrows of this sad night. I recall this round from years at Girl Scout camp, a fine source for group singing. It dates to Elizabethan times, but its actual origins are unknown. I found this video of it on YouTube, done by a music teacher […]
