April Month of Spring!

I am so excited that it's finally spring! To be honest, though, I still feel like I personally am in hibernation...it's like I don't believe it's ever going to be hot, EVER again! Ah me, how the winter has embedded itself into my soul. But the buds and blossoms are slowly coaxing me out of my thick skin and layers of protective slothfulness.

Daffodills are beautiful! Heather and I were saying how we now understand Wordsworth when he talks about banks of daffodills - they spring up everywhere. Also cherry blossoms are just amazing. Mostly because everything else is still quite barren and bare, and then suddenly you have this tree in full glorious colour. Wonderful wonderful.

Tonight I have my first trial run as chorusmaster for the Mikado. I have been practising like mad, but I don't think I've overdone it. I decided that if they can't take me on the amount that I've practised now, then it's not worth my while - it's too much work! But I just love the music! Gilbert & Sullivan are geniuses - popular entertainment for the masses that still manages to be brilliant music. Getting a piano has been all worth it.

Hope you're all having a wonderful time and being blessed.
