Here is My Home

A song I'm going to work on learning and memorizing.

words and music by Si Kahn

Verse:
Good friends from whom we now must part
Where are we bound
Your hands and voices lift my heart
Here is my home

Chorus:
Come darkness, come light
Where are we bound
Come morning, come night
Here is my home

Verse:
For those who work in harmony
Where are we bound
Can learn to live in unity
Here is my home

(Chorus)

Verse:
If we can join ourselves in song
Where are we bound
Our hearts will live when we are gone
Here is my home

(Chorus)

Verse:
The spirit that finds music here
Where are we bound
Will sing forever in the air
Here is my home

(Chorus)

Minivan

Oh, we got the minivan back Wednesday. Quick action with the fire extinguisher saved it from any serious damage. Apparently the hose for the brake fluid failed in such a way that it put pressure on the caliper, which then failed. Anyway, as repairs go, it was relatively inexpensive. Still, it's probably a good thing we aren't going places much right now; time for more saving...

Updatiness - sewing and gardening

Not a lot on the sewing front this week. Finally got the front and back parts of the obi cut, but realized the linen was too floppy. Today we stopped at JoAnn's while in the valley and got some stiff interfacing. And for the snow queen, some light blue organza. Oh, and yesterday I made a rosette-type flower -- black velveteen, gold and black button, on a support disk of old toweling (couldn't find my felt scraps). Will try to take a picture at some point, but I have some other ideas to work on first...

An Ashfield friend inquired about possibly harvesting some stinging nettles, and came over Thursday to do that. She brought a lovely rhubarb plant with her, which is now making itself at home near the brook.

More rocks were dug out, and more work on the land near the brook was done, including L doing a repair to a pipe that drains water from somewhere higher up on the land into the brook.
