November winds...

Oh but I
just love the change of seasons – Especially
the Fall, with the smell a wood burning fire
somewhere in a neighbor’s home… the
colors and crunch of the fall leaves under my feet,
the chill on my face of the night air, ah, and cold
mornings with a hot cup of coffee… I’m
glad now to see the garden’s time is done, as
much as I loved it during the summer… the
flowers and vegetable plants have demanded enough of
my time - and now I look forward to quiet time
indoors – warm sweaters – cozy boots
– quiet music playing in the kitchen…
okay now I’m full of it… it’s more
like uilleann pipes droning in the kitchen, and my
fiddle and dulcimer laying on the counter -never
cooling off from my hands - hahah… I can never
get anything done, as much as I’d like
to– there’s always a tune drifting in my
head that needs to be played – or some rift I
need to work out… or some lyrics poking around
in my brain that need to be jotted down… I
realized the other evening - that I’d been a
bit too distracted by a particular tune I’d
been learning - when I went to put my fiddle away
– and it was caked with flour and dough –
from my baking that day… what would I do
without music? It’s my life’s blood.
