“O-oh…” (sung on a perfect 5th)

Prima Vox rehearsal tonight. After a nearly three-month hiatus, we picked up as harmoniously as we left off in February. Our performance and presentation at the UUF in Mankato was so exciting, so beautiful, so inspiring. (And I think the audience liked it, too. You know, from that “This is the best SuperBowl Sunday I’ve ever spent!” comment.)

We’ve got big ideas brewing. Fun ones. And we set ourselves a nice big goal: two more Hildegard pieces to learn, more to explore.

How fulfilling and good for the musical soul to have friends with whom to blend voices and intent. I do believe this is what life’s about.

Harry supervised the rehearsal from his perch.

He should have been contrite, having escaped out the porch door when the girls arrived. I caught up with him in the herb garden, where he was busy rolling around in some old lavender leaves. He was a mess, but very fragrant and quite happy after his short taste of freedom.

Tonight on my walk, I actually broke a sweat (more from weather warmth than out-of-shapeness, thank you very much). Perhaps my neighbors were right last night: it’s really spring.
