Delightful awakening, with Carol,
at Michele and Steve's Critter Creek Ranch
in
the
Southern
Sierra,
updating 21ST-CENTURY MUSIC Monthly Journal and continuing plans for The Opus Project presents Opus 36,
thanks to satellite wireless internet;
eventually up and about on a chilly morning (fog and snow overnight -- high a wintery 37... 55 up north [19th day of fall], a temperature not experienced there since January 18),
down
canyon
to
Twin
Oaks
General Store
for a
for cordial meal including Marcy, Alice,
Cheryl, and other friendly folks --
returning
in
strking
light,
via Caliente Creek,
Handy's
Corner,
Back
Canyon
and
Indian
Springs
Roads,
past Antimony Ridge,
to
take
a
bracing stroll up to the
pet cemetery
(Erroll
Morris,
anyone?),
engage in a bit of welcome clean-up,
and
score-study a second page of Paul Hindemith's Kammermusik No. 2: III, Op. 36, No. 2.
in a cozy surroundings.
