Claude Debussy – Life on the Farmlet

We have applied for the loan, paid for the appraisal of our home, made an offer on the Appalachian hills Farmlet, are waiting for the appraiser to call and schedule, and I am not sleeping!

I can’t stand the suspense and I am well and truly worn out. I have tried all my best tricks to get to sleep, but it is not working.

My best sleeping tricks:

Turn on Debussy low when going to bed. (normally this works)
When number one does not work then get up and drink camomile tea while reading the *LOTR. Usually this always works!

Not this time.

What works for you when you can’t sleep at night?

The Littlest Virtuoso

From the moment the little bug had finished his metamorphosis, he had loved to hum. In his short time on earth he had learned to hum the many different melodies he had been exposed to. Such musical masterpieces as Handel’s Messiah, or Debussy’s Clair de lune, were happily hummed in perfect pitch.

One day when visiting a lovely nearby garden, he landed on a fragrant rose. Becoming drunk off its lovely fragrance he began to hum loudly and most contentedly.

The gardener happened by and noticing him there, reached out to squish him.

“Bah, you Humbug!” He muttered with satisfaction.
