Update...

We are getting wood ready for next winter.

This is our pirate ship.

Spring is here.

Finally walked to the top of the hill.  (It's not that far.)

Cello...

Until today I had not practiced the cello for almost a year.  

There are multiple reasons and excuses.  Some of them good, some of them not so much.

Today,

I played for 2 hours.

My left fingertips are still numb and my right shoulder might be sore tomorrow.

Exhausting and Exhilarating

The notes in a song that make me smile, every time, even when I mess them up, they are like a good-natured shove from the shoulder of a laughing friend.  

It makes me want to shove back and skip on, sometimes slowly, balancing on an edge of notes, and sometimes running pell-mell, simply having fun, even if I trip and fall.
