February Photo Summary

Here is a note on what happened in February.

We walked when the weather was cooperating - around the town

and in the wilderness as well.

 15 Feb. - Open School Day at Crave Creek Country School

16 Feb. - Music Concert

The first concert ever where we needed earplugs, at least at the beginning of the performance, because the sounds were so high that they were hurting. The performer used earplugs, we had not been told to bring some. The compositions by Mr. Shaver were enjoyable, the music reminded me of the works by King Crimson, the classic British rock band. Classic not meaning classical music of course.

23 Feb. - Music Concert in Church - we liked the ladies' voices very much.

Our favorite piece was a song sang in the movie "Brother Where Art Thou?"

And more walks we did when we could ...

January Log

January was much quieter than December. We could rest but stayed rather busy at the same time.
