The night of November 3rd 2020..This little light of mine I'm going to let it shine

I am going to be my front yard.. (after the announcement is made, that our Democratic candidate has won and we have taken the senate.. ) with a bunch of sparklers.. I do not care what time it is.. 10PM or 2AM).. I will stick them in my lawn all the way up my walk.. and set them all off.. now if I can only get my Democratic neighbors to do the same thing..

This little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine
Oh, this little light of mine
I'm going to let it shine

It has been 65+ years since I have had a thought of that song. As children in a tiny Methodist church in rural America we sang that song with much gusto.....over and over again and again. Thanks for the memory.

and it has been rolling around in there all morning.. I have the same great memory... I think it was the first song I ever learned.. I have the barest of memories of being 3 and singing that at the top of my lungs..

My dream is of impeachment and the party I'll throw and who to invite.
What do you think of this possible drink for the impeachment party (criteria: drink had to have peach and mint in it)? https://www.willcookforsmiles.com/mint-peach-rose-spritzer/

In the meantime, I'll sing along to your song.
