Ohhhhhhhhhhhh - klahoma!

We live in downtown proper of our medium sized town and not two blocks away is a church that installed a carillon a few months ago. There are other churches with carillons, but this is the closest, so even inside the house we can hear the bells. In general it's what you expect, chiming of the hour (and fortunately these do not persist all night), and old hymns of various sorts, but occasionally there something out of the ordinary that catches the ear. For example, in December, there was "Here Comes Santa Claus!" along with other popular tunes. It makes one pause in the wonder of it all. My favorite now that it's spring is "Oklahoma - where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain!" My husband had gone out to the detached garage and I ran out to sing with gusto. My "Ohhhhhhhh!" got the neighbor's dog to join in! Oh my!

I did also accomplish some weaving between the musical performances - broadway musicals in the backyard and harp accompaniment on Sunday AM. The weaving is steadily coming along. And I can proudly say at this point this is the largest piece I have ever made! Yeah! I was able to finish the purple block of color and start the next color which is blend of the purple with the blue. I learned in the wedge weave class that I particuluarly like to have a blend or a varigated yarn that shows off the angle of the weave. With a solid block the angle is easily lost on inspection.

So there you have it - "And when we say Yeeow! Ayipeoeeay! We're just saying, You're doing fine, Oklahoma, OK!"
