Old Age Day by Day May 2, 2012

My husband and I went to the symphony last night, and had a lovely experience listening to Handel's "Water Music" and "Fireworks" and four of Bach's Brandenberg Concertos.  Gorgeous music, musicianship and the conductor, Jane Glover, was amazing.  We were high in the balcony, but it mattered not at all.  Baroque rules!

Today is another glorious sunny day, and I plan to do a bunch of errands, organize my photos on my computer, and be out as much as I can.  I have a sense of spaciousness, and for that I am grateful.  My foster granddaughter and I sewed yesterday and her fascination with it, and her impatience, are very endearing to me.  She was thrilled that I had a blanket I'd knitted for her.  She thinks I'm a magician.  That is how very young she is.  But she's also right.  There is a magic to sewing and knitting.  I was sewing felt birds for a mobile, and she picked out again her material for pillows for her room, and they will be a representation of how something flat becomes fat, soft and from a distance, alive.  I love seeing the world through her young eyes.
