8r4d I was excited that the weather has finally improved enough for some long spring walks, but it seems like the second that happened they resumed road construction near our house again so our peaceful path is going to run adjacent to an active paving site for the foreseeable future.

8r4d Our #orchestra has been playing some challenging music this half of our season and I realized one of my biggest personal challenges with our music selection has been my lack of familiarity with the music itself. my approach to remedy this was to download the actual performances into my music playlist and to listen to them on repeat in hopes that have a little better sense of the sound so that when I see the notes on the page I can translate between the two. It did mean spending about $20 on, some new albums on iTunes but hopefully it’s worth it in the end. #violin

8r4d They say dogs just kind of roll with the punches, but no one was more surprised than cricket when she woke up this morning to find a couple inches of fresh snow in a backyard that was clean and clear for spring just a few hours earlier.
