Our parents inflict their music on us, except I did not inflict my music on my children, I gave them the gift of great musical taste (funny how my parents said exactly the same thing......). There is a song 'Three wheels on my wagon', it is a song I grew up with and was sung by the New Christy Minstrels. Apperently it was written by Burt Bacharach, I think its fair to say it was not one he is best known for and there it is, wired into my brain, waiting to pop out when I least expect it.
So there I am, standing in front of my quince, thinking 'one quince on my wagon'.
I tweeted a picture of my lonesome quince, it was commented on that it was not plumping up very much. It has not plumped up since that comment either. I think if I touched it it might fall off, so I don't touch it. I hold my breath. I send it positive thoughts.
One quince on my wagon.....
Higgity, haggity, hoggety, high* as they say.

Dear Alison
ReplyDelete'Pioneers they never say die" - yep, that song leaps into my head when I least expect it too. Also, 'lonesome quince' has led me to Laurel and Hardy...altogether now...'In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on the Trail of the Lonesome Pine...'
I do hope your lonesome quince continues and fattens up.
Higgity, haggity, hoggety high' indeed!
Best wishes
Ellie (both those songs are now going round in my head - good job it's Friday!)
That is another fine ear worm :)
DeleteGetting there!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I remember that song from my childhood, too, and the blue ridge mountains of Virginia.
Must look up that video clip of Laurel and Hardy again on YouTube :)
