^ Pretty pictures, but I'm glad we don't have snow yet. I'm still raking leaves which beats shovelling snow!

This is so sweetA cup of hot coffee, my safe home, my son and daughter who are grown but call their mama every day, and a good book.
Another beautiful one
Another Owl in my neighbourhood. Looks like this one is made of local fallen leaves, cones, and branches!
How wonderful and joyful! We need the arts more than ever right now, to lift us and hold us, and fill us with much-needed beauity and cheer.I’m so happy that The Nutcracker Ballet tradition will continue this year - virtually! This will bring so much happiness and Christmas cheer to so many. Ballet West’s The Nutcracker is a serious Christmas tradition in Salt Lake City. They’ve done it every year, for 65 years. One year they planned to do a different ballet for Christmas, and the community response was so unhappy that they had to change it back. (They announce the next Season months in advance, so there was more than enough time.)
Not the usual live performances this year, but a local station has donated time on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day for it to be broadcast. Ballet West has never broadcast it’s version of The Nutcracker before. But they are doing it this year as a ‘Christmas Gift’ to the community – and to not break the tradition on its 65th Anniversary.
Every year it sets a new world record for longest streak the same ballet has been performed by the same company without missing a year. This version was done in San Francisco for 10 years before coming to Ballet West with its creator/choreographer ‘Mr. C’ – so 75 years total; but us locals really start counting when Mr. C brought it to Ballet West.
Listen to my daughter singing and baking from upstairs.
