miscellaneous monday
miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share all the stuff we don't share the rest of the week. what say you about miscellaneous?
lulls in the summer heat are as lovely a gift as ever can be given. it's been so very, very hot. the type of heat that permeates everything. even inside the house feels hot as the air conditioner works overtime. when the heat breaks and mild temperatures ensue, it feels lovely. a respite. we go outside, sit on our porches and revel in it all until the heat returns.

whimsical wednesday
we're celebrating world music day for whimsical wednesday! and we are making it personal. find out what music was popular the year you were born. go further and discover what music was popular the day you were born or the week or the month. can you discover various genres of music, such as show tunes, pop, classical? what was your reaction to your discoveries? share with the whimsey project!
the year of my birth was 1951. lots of music doings in that year according to information found on the internet. here's just a bit of what i discovered:
*bing crosby released seven albums.
*the king and i, south pacific (my favorite) and a tree grows in brooklyn were among the debuts in musical theater.
*film presented an american in paris, royal wedding, showboat.
*frankie laine signed with columbia records, becoming the highest paid singer.
*nat king cole, tony bennett and perry como all had number one hits.
*song of the year was "be my love" by mario lanza.
i read about the classical music and opera, however, it was too complicated to include in the list. it seemed to need more than just a sentence to be understood.
reactions? when i read that the song of the year was "be my love" by mario lanza, i burst into that song, flinging my arms outward. then i had a good giggle!

miscellaneous monday
miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share all the stuff we don't share the rest of the week. you have stuff; share it!
how are you doing with your daily whimsical moments notebook? keeping up? noting something of whimsey most days? hopefully so as being mindful of a day's whimsical moments can keep spirits lifted. a recent moment that i recorded on may 25th: walking through mint plants around the playhouse. immediately the scent of mint filled the air. my shoes carried the oil of the mint plants; once inside the house was filled with minty aroma!
