@dusty I hope you had a nice lunch!  spam haha  (Although I haven't had Spam in years, I liked it)  

Thanks a bunch for listening and for the kind comment!  This is a quiet tune and I really like the accompaniment Mark came up with.

I came here to hear some music, but after reading the comments, I think I'll have lunch now instead. spaghetti

Gorgeous tune, Robin.  You both play with such precision and patience.

@strumelia, Oh, they are so good!  French Fingerling potatoes sliced and cooked in the wok with sliced onion from the garden (we just finished the last of the onions), toss in a few scrambled eggs, serve adding fresh basil, and a dollop of yogurt in the bowl before eating- yum!

Potatoes are far more nutritious than most people think. I bet your fresh home grown ones are super yummy!

Thanks, @strumelia Lisa!  We haven't yet had frost on the ground but will soon.  Mark's been working garden beds and getting cover crop planted.  We had a good potato harvest this year so have been eating lots of potatoes over the past several weeks.  spaghetti

Such a contemplative and plaintive tune, fitting for a bare and quiet landscape just before winter frosty comes.

@davisjames Jamie, as you indicated, the term can have different connotations-- from allowing a field/soil to "rest" from being planted to soil which is not fertile/does not offer hospitable conditions for growing various seeds are a couple ways to think of the term.  (Metaphorical usage of the term, too.)  Whatever the tune calls to mind in the listener is the just the right way to think of the tune.  We appreciate you listening and are appreciative of your comment!

Great melody."Fallow ground" can have so many connotations,from positive to negative.Makes me think of all of them.
