In The Spirit of the Upcoming Seasons....

        Yes,I know it's October and Halloween is the theme,but I thought I'd put a few ideas out there for the coming winter months.  Many meteorologists are predicting that this will be a much colder and harsher winter due to climate change. 
           I've always been blessed with a roof over me,warm clothes and scarves to bundle up in when I have to go out in cold weather. But for many people out there,they don't have the finances to buy a warm hat,scarf,or cowl.
              I'd like to ask that those ukulele players who know how to knit,crochet,and sew could perhaps start making these items to donate to the homeless and/or financially struggling.  This would include items for children and infants. If you sew, flannel or polar fleece scarves and hats would be great. For the needleworkers, If you have spare yarn and could spare a couple of skeins, I'm sure that your handcrafted items would be greatly appreciated. 
           Check online to see where you can donate your items so they get to people who need them. You can check with places of worship to see if they have a donation program.  Contacting homeless shelters is another possibility. 

             I've already knit a childs scarf I'll be donating and I'll be knitting more goodies for donation.

Halloween Season Is Here!

          Who's learning Halloween themed songs right now? I hope you are!  If you're handing out candy this year, playing "Monster Mash"  and other trick or treat themed songs ads an air of mystique to your handing out candy and helps the time pass if there are times when no kids are on your street. I purchased the uke pictured above in 2020...before I understood how long the lockdown that year would be.  I had envisioned myself on the porch playing it on Halloween night but I decided to be careful and I didn't hand out candy last year at all. That uke is a Mahalo...it's cute,but not the best quality uke for "serious"performing. It is good enough,however,to play on the porch for youngsters. 
         If you have musical friends nearby,why not have a Halloween porch jam? Or.....if you're not handing out candy an old fashioned Halloween musical get together would be fun. It can be for ukes only....or not. Totally your call.  Have everyone come in costume and be sure to take plenty of pics! 
        I would encourage mask wearing if you're handing out goodies this year even if you are fully vaxxed. Your health is everything.
