March

On 6 March 2020, we enjoyed taking part in the last local event before the lockdown.
It was a meeting with an Auschwitz survivor Dr. Edith Eger who danced in the camp in front of the infamous Dr. Mengele. Little did the lady talk about her war experiences but she did teach about the kindness and peace of heart and mind and the forgiveness as well.

Not long after that, the town life was suspended. We kept walking both for mental and physical health. Luckily we live in a beautiful area with pretty landscape and clean air.

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 ...

And here (below) my version of Paul Klee's painting which is my reply to a current FB trend - people recreating popular paintings in their own way, with the stuff they find.

January Log

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

About 200 Saints (their relics) including our favorite ones visited our town. That was the relics collection that came to us from the Vatican.
