Having woods beside the house, the mornings get pretty loud because the chickadees scold me to fill the feeder, then come the tufted titmice, and an assortment of other feathered friends. I also like the sigh of the wind through the fir trees. Sometimes Nature provides the best of symphonies. :) Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966048015900583351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-43419918166537945802017-12-05T20:38:00.958-05:002017-12-05T20:38:00.958-05:00I love to listen to nature sounds or the original ...I love to listen to nature sounds or the original soundtracks from the Harry Potter movies (My favorite composer is John Williams).BFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09878378730164900765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-67014064199819616332017-12-05T14:26:18.613-05:002017-12-05T14:26:18.613-05:00Thank you for hosting!Thank you for hosting!Goddess Fish Promotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952608939319684406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-35822506295922525032017-12-05T13:01:57.661-05:002017-12-05T13:01:57.661-05:00Thanks for stopping by Victoria.

I will occasionally listen too them because there is something comforting and uplifting about the voices.

Even if the music is instrumental, I can't think if I know the words to the song. Gregorian chants make my best background. The simple melodies and rhythms are soothing. And I don't remember enough high school Latin to understand the words.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364407694552324535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-48534130132010311272017-12-05T08:20:58.454-05:002017-12-05T08:20:58.454-05:00Thank you so much for having me visit today.
