I’ve got another playlist to share, and all of the tunes are oldies but goodies. You may find yourself singing along, unless you hated the 70’s. In fact, you probably shouldn’t click here if you hated the 70’s 😉

I love the sweet, predictable rhythm this time of year takes on for me. It starts with our getaway to the shore. It continues with the blooming of the peonies.
