| A large yellowwood tree just off the patio is absolutely loaded with wisteria like flowers. It is so heavily laden I worry about a wind storm wrecking the branches. The perfume is light but enchanting and it is evident from a long way away. The orioles and house finches are singing at the top of their lungs but the bass is really loud. there are a lot of bees on it but oddly enough, most are bumble bees and they are so busy at the blossoms that you can even brush by them and they pay no attention.
The melody from the birds and the bass from the bees beats a lot of music I've heard on NPR lately. |

| I think I understand that somehow you want to capture the symphony of music from your garden and recreate it. DH plays the piano, beautifully and he plays from notes that other people wrote. He wishes he could write the music, but no go. DD sings and plays the flute, again from other people's notes. Don presented an alternative way to putting something on paper. |

| Gandle, I envy you your tree and the bumblebees. We have just one permanently, it circles the house off and on for hours and there is realy nothing blooming except a couple of flowers. Love the text of the Moody Blues song, reminds me of Beatrix Potter. |

| gandle, today is so steamy--(99, with the high saturation point), have had to work in shade, pulling over-hanging weeds and stalks from beds bordering long brick walkways--scooping up cool, finely-wormed dirt along brick edging of beds and tossing it back in the side and center beds. Strange how cool that dirt is and how my sweat is dripping all over it.. Huge worms scither-scather back down between the bricks, the rest I toss up in beds with all their good dirt for them to play in. While I was working, I was thinking about your tree and the music that was playing that day. What a treat---something that will stay with you and you can revisit as you like. You were so lucky to be part of that beautiful scene. Don's song really brings your experience more into view for the rest of us. While I was scooting along in the dirt sweating and forgetting I was a human--- Maybe you and Leone would dance to this song under the Yellowood tree in the moonlight.... Come a little bit closer But there's a full moon risin' Because I'm still in love with you When we were strangers But now it's gettin' late Because I'm still in love with you |

| Don---I promise I wasn't crowding your space---I just heard it in my head and it wound up here.. Mea Culpa! |

| KJ, much comes to mind when these images are painted in to our experience. Each has their own response and widen ours by sharing. I will have to look that song up and listen. George and Leone are both creative in their thoughts and comments and a pleasure to read. The sound picture painted for us brought one of my favorite songs to mind and one of yours too. To be in the right place at the right time for these experiences is a gift. Nature makes the best music and we try to imitate it. |
