Weather Report: Music in the Air

The very warm, sodden air. Tee shirts! Had to dig out a short sleeve tee-shirt for myself when I got to Wendy and John's this morning.

Christmas Morning.

Post present opening, enjoying Wendy's wonderful cinnamon rolls she makes for Christmas mornings.

All day long music moments keep happening as Keoni and Aidan collaborate and put in some time on Sunday's carols for church...

Then, they downloaded O Holy Night cello part and put it together with the violin and piano (Keoni played it on my keyboard and recorded). Using one of the new tripods here's the two-person trio...




I put on my boots and had a walk around the perimeter of Rhapsody Ridge. Keoni came along, too. When we returned Aidan was practicing soccer moves on the back porch and recorded some of his results...

And, this...




Now we are awaiting the Roast Beast. I think everybody is salivating.

I'm thinking about one of my recent walks when I saw a bird I had never seen before. I could hardly believe I was seeing a Snowy Owl, but all research and Wednesday's Nature on PBS about the Snowy Owl confirmed it. What a moment. And, a couple of miles down Ridge Road the other day I saw a Coyote! A long time ago, in a place far, far away...there were lots of coyotes. (Tucson, of course.) But in PA, yet!

My favorite picture ever of Carol with Montana in Tubac. I believe Janie's photography.

I'm going to go look in the oven window at the Roast Beast.
