Anne of Green Gables Entry, The Hazel Dell Sheet Music

I am one of the few who has never seen the Anne of Green Gables movies. Before last month, I had never even read the books. I was inspired to read the book by the pretty photos on Bramblewood Fashion's blog which is hosting an Anne of Green Gables Fashion Week. To celebrate the week, I drew Anne on the roof in one of her "serviceable" dresses.

 I finally read the first book and absolutely loved it! There were a lot of very true and beautiful things written in it.






Some meaningful things said in the book were:

• " Blessed are they who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed."
• "...when a man is courting he always has to agree with the girl's mother in religion and her father in politics."
• "A body can get used to anything, even to being hanged, as the Irishman said."
• "It is all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?"

Here is a song to celebrate the week also. Anne mentions that Diana is going to teach her a song called Nelly in the Hazel Dell. This song was written in 1853 and was revived in the early 1900s. A midi version of the song can be heard here at The Music.

I hope everyone has been enjoying Anne of Green Gables Fashion Week and I can't wait to see the rest of everyone's blog posts. Someone will have to tell me if they use this song in the movie.
