Day 1093: Organ music for Lent

[eve_prime]

The local organ society has resumed its Lenten concerts on Saturdays at the neighborhood Episcopal church, and they're generally enjoyable even though (a) the organ can be very loud, especially in a relatively small space, and (b) many of the organists are not professional musicians. That was the case today, but I still enjoyed it, generally. The first organist played relatively new pieces, written by composers born between 1870 and 1954, and I felt like she had fine taste. The second played the familiar Stabat Mater by Pergolesi and a Sonata by Mendelssohn. There were fewer than 20 of us there, and I was definitely the youngest except for the priest and a younger man.

I made a bit of progress on the blackberry vines, and entered quite a few schools into my spreadsheet - maybe I can finish that tomorrow? I am feeling behind on so many things... nothing that truly matters, though, I suppose?

Ahh those Blackberry vines.

I will start feeling behind here as soon as Spring really hits. Then everything happens at once! Still in the waiting phase...

I can't even begin to think about the new garden year with so many things from last year still hanging over me... heh.

That is how I feel too. We still have leaves we have not rakes up to protect some flowers that might try to bloom too soon. I should get out there soon, if it ever gets warm and dry enough!

I think we have to buy a new mower in the next few weeks - not looking forward to that.
