Gettin' in the Mood for Christmas

Katherine and I went to the Old Brick Church in Williston where they are running a music series through the fall and winter. Tonight they had a concert harpist who has been playing with an orchestra in Philadelphia for many years.   And an "Grammy nominated" flutist who runs a chamber music group here in Vermont.

Katherine has expressed an interest in learning to play the harp.  When she learned that the harp had nine pedals on it to shift each string from natural to sharp to flat, she started to back down from her position...until the harp started to play.  Katherine had brought her Kindle along (we were plenty early in order to get good seats so she thought she might need something to read), but as soon as the music started she closed the Kindle and kept her eyes glued to the harp.

When we got home, I was enjoying all the lights on our house and thought I'd take a couple of pictures.  It's amazing how helpful these lights are in helping me get into the celebratory mood of Christmas.

This little tree is covered in LED lights, and is now covered in snow.  It looks like a candy tree...or maybe that's just my sweet tooth talkin'.
