There's a Blue Bird on My Windowsill

 This song is my new favorite! It has been stuck in my head the past week.

The view from my room.

Andrews Sisters-Walking in a Winter Wonderland

One of my sisters and I favorite singing groups are the Andrews Sisters. This perky trio always brings a smile to our faces. They are the best known for singing 40s wartime swing tunes like Bei Mir Bist du Schon and Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree.

Apple Picking Time!

My favorite autumn activity is apple picking. Perhaps you already guessed that? I talk about apples a lot. We are usually lucky enough to go on a perfect fall day. Beautiful blue skies with a bit of nip in the wind, green apples trees with fruit waiting to be picked. What a pretty sight!

An apple song to go with the fall mood!

Happy weekend everyone!

Christmas Music - Harry Belefonte

 In honor of the Christmas season I am going to try and post Christmas music favorites each Friday. How do I decide? There are too many choices!

Harry Belefonte is one of our favorite singers. We first started listening to his Christmas songs. Some of them folk songs, like Mary's Boy Child.

Our absolute favorite of Harry's is Jehovah the Lord will Provide. Unfortunately I couldn't find a video of it on YouTube. But I did find the words.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

The foxes have a hole,

 the birdies have a nest

But the Son of God,

He don't know where to lay His sweet head.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

There was room at the inn
For the merchants that day,
But Joseph and Mary had no place to stay.

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

Then a star in the heavens,
The message did bring!
The tiny Babe in swaddling cloth, was Jesus the King!

Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide
Jehovah, Hallelujah, the Lord will provide

A sweet reminder that He provided for His Son and he will provide for us.

Another of our favorites!
