Blue Skies Smiling At Me

Petunia Reaching Blue Sky, Renee Jardin
Nothing but blue skies do I see.



Blue Skies - Frank Sinatra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h03eH51rsuM

written by Irving Berlin

I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see

Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on

I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

Take a Walk With Ludwig

Vienna Woods, lessing-photo,com
A picnic would be lovely.
This is my favorite symphony by Beethoven. Telling the class we will take a walk, hear the bird, the storm, and practically hear the clouds move across the sky--how wonderful.
