A piano Virtuoso or Visiting with the youngest Greatgrands

The mums and the boys, out for a stroll in their amazing push carts,

stopped for tea

and a little gleeful piano entertainment

You're going to love this piece!!

well, perhaps it gets a little loud here......

but isn't it fun!!!!!!

A solemn ending....

the little one listened and smiled

and took nourishment

while the adults sat around pulling silly faces

to elicit these lovely grins!

Khayyam

ABC Wednesday
March 25th, 2015

K is the letter

Omar Khayyam and lines from his Rubaiyat are the subject

Omar Khayyam was a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer who lived from 1048-1131, well known for his mathematical theories, but also for his poetry, especially among the Romantics!!


Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.

or perhaps...

Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears
Today of past Regrets and Future Fears -
Tomorrow? - Why, Tomorrow I may be
Myself with Yesterday's Sev'n Thousand Years

Lo! some we loved, the loveliest and the best
That Time and Fate of all their Vintage prest,
Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before,
And one by one crept silently to Rest.

 or this....


I sometimes think that never blows so Red
The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;
That every Hyacinth the garden Wears
Dropt in its Lap from some once lovely Head.
