Bringing Home the Pies

The apple pies were gathered and brought home, and so I began to sing this song. 

        Bringing home the pies
        Bringing home the pies
        We shall come rejoicing
        Bringing home the pie
s

It's to the tune of Bringing in the Sheaves, which surely to goodness you know. Having obtained the pies from a church it seemed appropriate.

And by the way, I stuck my nose inside the Ashton United Church for the first time. I liked what I saw, so I went back to the car for my camera.


On the way home, I pulled over for this quick photo, just outside of Ashton.


After I was home for awhile, I realized that each of the three layers that I was wearing had a hood. So, I pulled them all up and hammed up a selfie just for you. The way that the outer layer shows up, it almost looks like four layers.


Yes, if you are thinking that the old boy still hasn't turned on the furnace, you may proceed directly to the head of the class.

What I want to accomplish most with this post, however, is to leave you with an earworm, so please start singing Bringing in the Sheaves to yourselves.

 Altogether now, and a one, and a two  . . .  🎵🎹🎺🎸

  2. Not a bad photo among these. And as earworms go, not a bad one at that. My least favorite is Oh My Darling Clementine!

  4. No earworm since I have no idea what bringing in the sheaves sounds like. Maybe it's just as well. I haven't turned on the heat yet either, though we were down to the thirties F overnight. I was warmly sleeping at the time.

  6. I know the song, sang it in church (decades ago when I went to church(, but fail to remember what it means. I do love the warm wood that contrasts with the stained glass windows of that church.

  7. Pretty church with an unusual configuration of pews.

  9. Actually, someone posted a video of a Ukrainian soldier playing Someone You Loved on a violin and that earworm is reverberating in my head.

    A hoodie, much less 4 hoodies would definitely keep you warm. Uuuummm..... I actually have the air conditioner on here in Hawaii.

  12. That's a very interesting design for a church. I've only seen it twice before.

  14. Thanks for the pie earworm. It's replacing the Coal Miner's Daughter ear worm. You appear ready to imitate a snake molting 3 layers by the time you turn on your furnace. That church is amazing. I love the curved pews. Linda in Kansas
