November 19, 2023 (Sunday)
It was a cold and crisp 28 degrees this morning but I remembered that it is only 122 days until the first day of Spring.

Those we have lost
Kathy Williams and Heidi Jeldres organized a gathering to remember Dana Paul and the other members of our musical community, We remembered them with music, food, and stories.

Daily Picture Theme – Skill
I participate in a daily photo challenge on the social media site Spoutible. Everyday there is a different subject announced as a Daily Picture Theme.

The theme listed for November 18, 2023 is SKILL. I thought of the skill it would take to construct this sand mandala.
