April 18, 2012
Lots going on up here in Anchorage! We have over 15 hours of daylight now and some heavy DIsappearing action to get rid of our record-bursting snow. Over 137 inches fell in dribs and drabs and a couple of big drops. Our streets got narrower and narrower, more and more accidents piled up, and snow piles on rooves. Temps are in the 30's and 40's and we have lots of sunlight!
The Irish and I had our first BBQ for a birthday celebration/celebrate Spring/first-just-plain-get-out-of- the-house evening last week. The pavement is largely dry, which was just a memory up until a week ago!
As I sit, sun is streams in onto tulips and daff bulbs that spent the winter in the fridge and are now in pots in front of the slider. The first daff responding to all that warmth has opened up.
I saw one of my students perform in RENT this past weekend with some Canadian friends. It brought back a lot of sad NYC memories, but it was a very good production, all with local talent which Anchorage audiences just love!
I also had a photo shoot at Beluga Point, the train snowplow a few miles down the road, and behind UAA in the woods with my friends Steve and Nicola. Gorgeous scenery and I will post some pictures on this and the next blog. Note how warmly Steve and Nicola are dressed.
Recital coming up, my last one with this center as I need to take a little time off as I just can't work these long hours anymore.
Next will be playing background music at a fundraiser my sister Cheryl is hosting. Not singing, but playing piano! I have picked a combination of classical and non-classical music.
Animals are good and spending more and more time outside. Larkin wants to be outside all the time now in the light. It is amazing how he can spend so much time out in the snow and not mind it. Pak, on the other hand, likes to lay on the porch where it is dry.
The Irish continues to do the bulk of the house chores and work. He is not getting enough sleep and we are not getting enough time together but I hope this will change soon. The dog next door barks and kids across the street bounce the basketball at all hours. And I am sure my coming home for lunch and packing my evening music is intrusive in this small house.
The bears have woken up and are starting to ramble around looking for food.
Hope you all are enjoying a wonderful Spring!
