Yep, yep... brown and yaller leaves... grass to match... wet... rainy.... getting to be about that time of year. Time for nuts and persimmons and acorns and pumpkins and apples. Hmmm... more I think about it... kind of a nice time.... the fall of the year.

I went for a walk.
On a winter's day.
I'd be safe and warm.
If I was in L.A.

What's the lyric about the preacher in that song? What does he do right before "he knows I'm gonna stay?"

(it's a bit damp around here. Will have to stop at the coffee shop on the way to carpool)

It always comes back round to the mamas and the papas, don't it?

To answer everyone's questions:

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
and the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
on a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
if I was in L.A. (If I was in LA)
California dreaming (California Dreaming) on such a winter's day.

Stopped into a church I passed along the way.
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
and I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher likes it cold (preacher likes the cold),
He knows I'm gonna stay (Knows I'm gonna stay)
California dreaming (California Dreaming) on such a winter's day.

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
and the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
on a winter's day (on a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (If I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)
California dreaming (California dreaming)
on such a winter's day.

I love the Mammas and the Pappas!

Fall is my favorite season of all!

And it's been sunny humid and in the 90's here! Y'all come!

Disneyworld Skegness soon to be opened. A magical place where it's 21st October all year round...

Travel thee to jolly old Skegness, where you can stagger through an informal area with a 1500s-style thatched-roof cottage and canal or stop to catch the beat of the British Bovver Boys at a formal square with a Skegness bandstand. Find a bounty of British toys at the Everything a Pound Shoppe, unique clothing at the Skegness Shoppe, English perfumes (chiefly haddock and cod) and soaps at the Queen's Table, and more authentic British goods at other delightful shops. Enjoy greasy fish and chips at the renowned Skegness Arms. And don't miss the one-and-only Pam Brody and the comical World Showcase Players, entertainers sure to tickle your fancy. It's soooooo bracing.

This actually the second song I learned on the whistle.

Skegness is a lovely place!
Mum and her 'significant other' have an Italian restaurant there.
and were living there until they recently bought a house just out of town.

Mum hasn't seen any whistles though.

You forgot to mention (well, the Mammas and the Papas did anyway

) dreary, damp, and ugly.

Oh how I wish I were back in New England for the fall!!!!
