THE WINTER CAROUSEL

I love carousels, and I love calliopes. Just the sound of a calliope brings tears to my eyes. They have a beauty down at the Heritage Museum site on Cape Cod. The Winter Carousel at the Heritage Museum was more than 100 years old. They had brought it to the museum from some other part … Continue reading THE WINTER CAROUSEL

THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY

Share Your World 6th May 2024 https://www.youtube.com/embed/vvrE_ekDXQc?si=oEdGTeBfZ-EHeHip Now that I've worked that out of my system ... May is that kind of month. Full of newness and the first warm days of spring after a hard cold winter. Buds and baby birds, fresh new leaves on the trees and that scent (achoo!) of drifting pollen in … Continue reading THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY

WORLD SHARING AS WE SLIDE INTO OCTOBER

SHARE YOUR WORLD 9-26-2021 I can't believe September is over. I was sure it just started! Apparently not. It is not yet glorious Autumn here. It will be at least another week. I'm not seeing a single changed leaf on my maple tree. That's my gauge. It's just outside my picture window. When ONE leaf changes, … Continue reading WORLD SHARING AS WE SLIDE INTO OCTOBER

WORLD SHARING NOW THAT HALF OF 2021 IS GONE

SHARE YOUR WORLD 6-29-2021 Hard to believe half this year is already gone. I'm sure there were other months, but do I remember them? Nope. The months have scooted by and not even marked their passage. Maybe this is just the way things are now. Nothing new and exciting is happening and I'm not really thrilled … Continue reading WORLD SHARING NOW THAT HALF OF 2021 IS GONE

CALLIOPE MUSIC

I added some calliope music for the calliope enthusiasts (I am one!) and those who have never had the pleasure of hearing a real, old-fashioned steam calliope. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/wk8yhk9nEoA https://youtu.be/Olnm66Uxy8U There is no music that makes me as nostalgic as a steam calliope. There are so few working calliopes remaining anywhere ... if you get … Continue reading CALLIOPE MUSIC

A LITTLE FICTION – THE CALLIOPE

Oom pah, pah ... oom pah pah ... The sound of the calliope is a siren's call to the little girl. There, in the middle of the big park, the magic ponies go up and down. Up, down, around and then around again. "Can I ride Mommy? Please?" Mommy nods yes. There's no harm in a … Continue reading A LITTLE FICTION – THE CALLIOPE

CAROUSEL AND CALLIOPE

WHAT SAYS SUMMER BETTER THAN A CALLIOPE I added some calliope music for the calliope enthusiasts (I am one!) and those who have never had the pleasure of hearing a real, old-fashioned steam calliope. Enjoy! There is no music that makes me as nostalgic as the pumping of a steam calliope on an old carousel. … Continue reading CAROUSEL AND CALLIOPE
