Good morning everyone -

Not much of the morning left, but I am just getting started. I've been up since 8am, though. Done with my morning chores, had coffee with my DH.

It is raining again. Thunderstorms predicted, but my son, Mike, and I have to go out anyway. He has a doctor's appointment at 1pm.

Linda Kay - The tarantula is beautiful, but I am glad he isn't here ! I don't even like small spiders ! You know how bees seem to head straight for some people ? Well, spiders come to me. I've been bitten quite a few times. The last time was just this spring. I was working on a flowerbed by my front door.

Marion - Would you believe I have never seen Les Miz ? I must at least listen to the music sometime. I thought Susan Boyle was amazing. I found it hard to believe she didn't win Britian's Idol. I guess the deciding votes came from viewers.

Trisha - I agree with you - playing piano is relaxing. Wonderful to have a piano given to you ! Grandpa gave Mom an upright when I was about four years old. I started playing then. I took lessons from a lady across the street for a couple years. When I was in grade school, I took up violin and continued to play and take lessons through high school. My violin teacher had a piano in his studio, and I always went to the piano before my lesson. Anyway, I gave up the violin after school, but I continued with piano. I never took any more lessons, I just practice a lot.

What kind of music do you like to play ? I enjoy classics, mostly sonatinas. I have trouble playing pop, but I try.

Here are some pics from my little garden.
