...I confess

My neighbour is playing the bagpipes in his backyard. And it sounds gorgeous. We opened up all the windows and we've been sitting in silence, listening to him play.

(Apparently I enjoy the bagpipes, when they're played well. Also: I love a well-played accordion, as long as it's played Parisian-style and not polka-style.)

I saw a bumper sticker this past weekend that read: "And on the 8th day, God created bagpipes."

oooo! Delurking (I think I recently found your blog through jo(e), maybe?) because I looooove the bag pipes! The key is for them to be played well and not in a small, enclosed space. So to have it drifting in the windows sounds dreamy! I hope your neighbour treats you to many more such concerts!
