My husband and I were walking on our property one day. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and the temperature was comfortable.

My Drum
I know this is not the Christmas season. Sometimes I enjoy playing Christmas music during other times of the year. Most of us have a favorite Christmas carol.
