WELCOME AUGUST
Here in Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹
AUGUST is STEELPAN MONTH
]
After World War II and the presence of US military bases, discarded industrial 55-gallon oil drums became readily available to creative hearts and hands and so today, there is the steel pan, the only major acoustic musical instrument invented in the 20th century. [steelpan from Pinterest, Calendar from google]

Love the music. Those cloud shots are so different. Several great haikus today, especially "steel pan day." What a wonderful music inspired summertime entry you gave us for Erika's theme at AJJ. Happy AFFF and FFO, too.
A musical instrument - that is inspiring. Such vibrant clouds. A lovely post.

Great music and I love seeing you reading your book to audience!
Fantastic post! Love your picture of you reading your storybooks! The food looks delicious and love the sky photos very much. So wonderful and creative! Have a beautiful Friday and a lovely weekend Gillena!
..."do your best with what you have" is wonderful advice!
I really liked that banana fronds haiku. I can even hear them...And your summer fun piece is great. Dancing is always fun, but outdoors and in the summer when you get all hot...it's a great memory for me. (Even though I still dance around the house.:) ) Thanks for linking up at AJJ and have a super Friday and start to your weekend. hugs-Erika
Do your best is great advice. My favorite pic is the one of you reading your book. Blessings!

This is such a joyful post. I love that first piece of art. Interesting about after ww2 and the oil drums. Your Haiku are always so beautiful. I do enjoy seeing what your meals are too. Thank you for joining FFO and have a very nice weekend.
Thanks for your appreciation, Iris

Oh wow, Gillena! I love your beautiful photos, especially the sky and clouds—they look amazing. My favorite part of your post is the fun and fabulous digital art about summer! The dancing couple, vintage feel, and monochrome colors—everything about it is wonderful! Thank you!! Hugs, Sharon
I hope you had great success telling stories from your book. Happy Friday dear Gillena

Very interesting, Gillena. I had heard of steel drums before, but somehow steelpans escaped me. I have always enjoyed exuberant steel drum music. Love the photo of you sharing your books! Enjoy your weekend!
I LOVE your "summer fun" digital layout, Gillena, and -of course- your haiku.
Thank you for another entry to AJJ, my friend.
