Various & sundry

Cats & still life from 22 & 24.Feb.2013 and 4.Mar.2013. Sleety rain out there now. Clearer stuff forecast for tomorrow. Tootling & stitching today - toddling in sleet & 36F? Not fun.

Vernal equinox? I think not.

Despite the weather dude's claim that spring starts today around noon, our actual, factual equinox was on Tuesday, according to my moon phase app.

No Alexander lesson today (teacher's sis is in town). Spent yesterday having a "spa day" with two medical appts. (MD follow-up & vision screening) with a trip to the MFA in between. An idea better in theory, though: left the house for the bus @ 7:30AM, got back @ 3:30PM. One pooped little puppy.

Meanwhile, here are some photos from 18.Feb.2013.

March is bustin' out all over

Shots taken 11.Mar.2014. With temps forecast for the 50sF today, the blossoms will probably be done in a day. :|

A touch of color

Before the first two blossoms on the cyclamen faded, I grabbed a photo yesterday of its mass of flowers.

Off late AM for acupuncture. Before that, warming up with some flute scales. Then some stitching, laundry, picc practice and who knows?

Blue shadows

We always think shadows are gray, don't we? But I think the Fauves and others had it right, that they're usually not. Including what I call blue shadows, here are a still life with puss and napping Mimsy. Shots from 14, 15 & 17.Feb.2013.

Beginning the marathon week of Melrose rehearsals and concert (3 reh. & the concert on Sat.). Then we begin the dreaded The Composer Is Dead. Thank goodness I've had that part for awhile.

Nature's beauty and curious cat

Today's slices of life from 23 & 24.Jan.2013. Some of the frost shots remind me of flowers, some of sun spots & some, mountains. Of course now I wish I'd taken a movie of Snitch's curiosity. Off mid-morning to acupuncture - rain on top of all our snow forecast for this afternoon. Wonderful. :|

What's that?

Can't quite see what it is.

Maybe if I can just get a little closer . . .

 A couple songs I hope will brighten your holidays. Whiskey Christmas   and Holly Jolly Christmas (it's worth listening to the end)
