What's happening in this post-Easter season?
Well, we are both now fully vaccinated. Spring is upon us in fine fettle - and we are enjoying sitting in the sun on the deck! We are on the north side of the mountain, but even there, crocuses are blooming in our back yard. We are finally able to open the window and get fresh air at night and not be too cold.
Tuesday we had a Zoom River Singers session with Kathy Bullock as guest leader - and she was full of joy and energy as usual. We sang Even Me, I've Got a Robe, and I Still Have Joy - great fun, even on Zoom.
Last night we started a Swarthmore course on William Faulkner. Fascinating, with Philip Weinstein as the teacher. We will study three novels in nine sessions, and started with The Sound and the Fury. The style of writing is "stream-of-consciousness" - the thoughts, feelings and sensations of Benjy, a 33-year-old "idiot," (inspired by Shakespeare's "life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing"). Once you get the hang of it, it is not confusing at all.
Next Tuesday will be John's 60th birthday. We hope to visit briefly but are putting off a celebration until he feels better and is also fully vaccinated.
I'm sure some little trips will be in the offing.
