Yesterday was a very soggy, foggy day and not advantageous for taking photos indoors or out, so I'll share some shots from earlier last week. Here are some pictures of our first snow this year.
The highlight of my weekend was sitting in the old train depot listening to the Chelsea Chamber Players along with the Chelsea High School Chamber group perform their holiday concert.
As I sat there listening to them perform Telemann's Concerto for Viola, Greensleeves, and Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 I was struck by how lucky I am. I live in a small town in Michigan with a high school of less than 1000 students, yet, our town is rich in music, art, and theater opportunities for everyone in the community.
I am sure that my son does not realize how unusual his situation is, that as a high school student he can perform in a chamber group with professional musicians and also to be a part of a high school celtic music group that travels and performs at festivals across the midwest - to him it is normal.
My little bit of holiday sparkle that is shining through the gloom today.
