Re: Do you name your instruments?
My husband was with me in my little orchard one morning and groaned when I referred to one of my trees as "Katy."
"Don't tell me you've named the trees," he pleaded.
"Um, no," I told him, feeling ever so self-righteous. "That's the name of the variety of apricot."
Naming musical instruments, of course, is a whole 'nother thing from naming trees, right? Right?!?
