Keep a Trickle Flowin walk

Posted on 15 Aug 2020

Well I’m afraid I have to give today’s Live Stream a miss folks.

We are apartment hunting. But I have an Outside Jive for you of me singing Keep a Trickle Flowin. I was on an evening walk during the week and the fountain in the little park was
still trickling which inspired me to start singing. Watch out for the fire flies (The Sparks glowin!) and the deer I met before it got dark by the time I got home. Listen out for crickets and noisy Cicada.
