down

Cheryl, and other friendly folks --


returning


in


strking


light,


via Caliente Creek,

Corner,


Back


Canyon


and


Indian

past Antimony Ridge,


to


take


a


bracing stroll up to the


pet cemetery

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.
