OMG, we have that lamb!! Ours is called "Grody sheep" because of the hair stuck to it! Sometimes I hide it so I don't have to look at it!

Thus far the new UPS has been unmolested by the cats & is working fine. The cat who usually hoses stuff just looks at it in confusion instead of trying to spray. Still need to do the more permanent setup though.

Friend sent me this picture from work. He had to move those arcade machines around and get them setup.

I told Rupert I didn't want him touching the new basket.

You can clearly see why I want to protect the new UPS and computer so they don't end up looking like the old one.

Beautiful scene there

The waiting room at the urologist's office (I drove my friend there for his appointment) was very interesting. Brick floors, wood panel walls, wooden beams on ceiling. Tiny doorknobs. Neat lamps. A very cool hat/coat rack thing with a mirror, indoor shutters, and wooden valances where there used to be curtains.

That's very cool and interesting! Not what one would expect in a doctor's office!!

I have not played much recently. After my long time piano teacher (and friend) died, I just haven't been in the mood for practice. So I've only played intermittently, and then only playing familiar pieces. I need to get off my butt and get back to it. Learn new pieces. I'm to the point where I'll need to do some real work to build my skills back to where they were, if I ever get back to that point again.

Below is one of my favorite pieces, if not my absolute favorite. I'm sure I've posted it here before. I've played many versions of it from easy to fairly difficult. But never the one below. This version is beyond my skill level (even back when I was practicing heavily). A Schubert melody, but arranged by Liszt, who was quite the show-off and could make things impossible to play except for virtuosos. I still dream of being able to learn this version though.



Here's Valentina Lisitsa performing it, and you can watch her hands fly all over the piano. Expertly fitting all those notes into place that Liszt put in there. The fun part is trying to figure out where the melody notes are coming from. As with many things that Liszt did, your hands are flying up and down and you have to figure out which finger of which hand will sound the melody note(s) as it zooms by. For those that play piano and can read the music in the first video above, you can see that Liszt puts in an extra staff with the melody in some places and probably rolls over in his grave laughing at us trying to figure out how to squeeze that in between all the other notes our hands are playing. I could play some of Liszt's easier stuff, but not difficult stuff like this.

All I see are two black boxes. I love pianos and watching the hands of good pianists along with listening. Here's me hoping for a fix.

Video of the doctor's office. Best with sound off.

Before we left, my friends' cat, Bandit, was making himself comfortable.

Things haven't changed. This was last week.

Here is the link to the second video, the one with Valentina performing. If you cut-n-paste it into your web browser, the browser will most likely add the https:// that should go in front of what you see below. If not, add that manually yourself.

And here is the link to the first video. It's the same piece, but instead of seeing someone performing it, you see the sheet music for how to play it (same thing as the video above, add https:// in front if your web browser doesn't do that automatically):

Thanks, it's working now.

Three and a half minute video of a 'window artist'. Looks like they are using the spray snow stuff as a medium. Beautiful but could do without the narrator

Ever notice that when you look towards the mountains that you can see them in layers? I am not seeing it in this photo, but wait until we have more snow storms and then take more photos and share here. I often see three layers of mountains. see the middle, the furthest out, looks like it has a cloud behind it, but it could be the lightest in the layers.

They are called the foothills.

 

[Weedygarden]

LOL!

They are called the foothills.

LOL, yes they are, and there are many things that use that for their business names. As the months and weather change, it looks different.

My daughter used a Dremel Tool to carve these pumpkins. She loves rats.

Wrap some shipping tape around your hand, sticky side out, and pat it until all the hair is gone.
