Rain, Open Rehearsal

It’s raining this morning (thank you). Last night, we attended an open rehearsal of the Cape Cod Symphony, the second largest professional orchestra in Massachusetts.

Ron prompted me to ask a question of the conductor which was praised as “astute”: are warm ups by the musicians needed for their instruments as well as for themselves? Turns out, yes in the case of the horns.

We enjoyed the open rehearsal and got to see our new acquaintance, violinist Deborah B., perform.

No Letter Bomb, No Hate Mail, Grasses

Between the “hunt to kill for fun” gang and the holster sniffers, I figured I am a dead woman.

So far, I am still alive.

Had to run out before anyone else was awake to get toilet paper….

I dug up two big grasses that were pretty dead and transplanted volunteer flowers from the veg patches to make a new garden in one of the two areas. Checked out the stock at the Wholesale Nursery. I’ll wait for sales to fill in the other area.

I fixed a problem with MRS yesterday evening and another with NEPS today.

Saw a concert at Tanglewood in July that I’d love to attend.

Received a box of produce from Misfits: lettuce and tomatoes this time. Made a stew: kale, celery, scallions, red pepper, garlic, squash, sweet potatoes, garbanzos, can of diced tomatoes.

Watered, Baked, Yom HaShoah

Watered the new plantings.

Baked brownies and biscuits.

Went to another hearing, this time about hunting in the Mashpee National Wildlife Preserve. Got thrown under the bus.

Maybe defending the innocent isn’t a bad way to honor those who are commemorated today, Yom HaShoah.
