From my blueberry bush, the most blueberries I've seen on it at one time. In mid-October. I did not expect this.
I really wanted to learn to play the violin music. I've always loved it.
There is an emotion communicated with skillful violin playing touches my soul like nothing else. I gave it an honest effort. I wasn't bad given my novice status. My neck, though, was having none of it. I tried stretches, tried taking frequent breaks, tried not pushing so hard with my chin. After six months I had to stop. That was six months ago, and I am finally coming to terms with ending this relationship. I find it gets harder with age to face endings. There are so many. I've been trying to catch the brilliant colors that appear on the local trees at sunset, but it's been tricky. Sometimes I'm just not fast enough at noticing it's sunset and getting out my camera. Often it has been just dark and rainy, so no sunset. Tonight, however, I managed to just catch it! This is the view from my upstairs. The maples are brilliant against the layers of cloud.
