I'm going with “Lily of the Valley” for this week’s Long Way Out Wednesday track. I’m beginning to feel a little wistful that summer’s days are numbered, and am trying to savor the warm, flower-friendly weather. Hence, my choice of song is about a flower.

Lily of the Valley is the birth flower for the month of May. When I sing this song, I imagine being in a rocking chair on the porch of a cabin in the Appalachian Mountains. I hope someday to visit there and do just that.

“Lily of the Valley” is free for the next seven days! It is also made marvelous by the fiddly cello-playing of Valerie Thompson. Have a listen, close your eyes, and enjoy a few quiet moments as summer begins to wane.
