Singin' A Round!

The thought occurs to me, is a blog a daily journal, or is it a collection of memories?  Or what is the difference?  In missing the last few days, I hope that I'm not behind, only slow!

This week we've sung several rounds, my all time favorite being Are you sleeping, Brother John?  I have a brother John.  He was always up and going long before his older sisters.  So this song isn't about him . . . unless it was the evening bells ringing.  Evening found him asleep, wrapped in a blanket in his bed.  My second favorite is Scotland's Burning.  I love the tune with its clever intervals, even a whole octave.  But what story is it telling?  I asked My Little Musical Bees this morning.  One girl said maybe the eggs on the stove caught fire!  That could happen at my house!

Next step, find the words in French to Frere Jacque so those morning bells can ring!
