When life's kicking your butt, how about a theme song? It's all about the ukulele!

I just realized it's November! It was the spectacular show of color this morning that clued me in. Plus the very unhappy kid raking a mile of yellow on the sidewalk. I smiled huge at the thought of sending my petulant teenager to rake and scoop leaves. My mind jumped from that thought to the first fall I spent in Washington. I was homesick and surrounded by strangers, but the colors fed a part of my soul that has never gone hungry since. There was this one day I was determined to rake leaves just like in the movies. Since I didn't have a lawn because I lived in the dorms I walked and walked looking for some old person who should not be raking leaves in the first place. Apparently, Tacoma is filled with spry elderly because I had not a single taker. So happy fall! Here's to yummy hot coffees and colors that make our hearts sing. And on that note (I'm killing with these puns!), here's my November theme song. It's all about the ukulele (for no good reason).

    1. I think the all the gray makes the colors stand out more because the remaining leaves are vivid.

      I love the sound of the ukulele too. I asked my youngest if he wanted to take lessons. He said, "You mean drum lessons?"

    1. It's so feel good. This one is a little heartbreaking and still you smile and feel good. It's going faster than I can keep track of, but it's good. I hope you and Zane are doing good!

  4. I'm rather fond of ukulele music, Robyn. I liked it before but I really fell for it in Kauai! ;) And the song is fantastic! Oh, the dreams we have...right, chickie? Let's see if I can actually get my post up this month. I've been sucking at it - despite my kids sending me their songs. *haha* <3 <3

    1. Oh that Hawaiian music. I have several CD's you know, plus holiday music too. I should make you a mixed CD of my favorites. Hey, no blogger girl bad talking yourself...the words got away from me. You know what I'm saying. No scolding...yourself. There.
