I had a few moments on the day before Mother's Day to walk through YES Gallery and video the new show. I've been planting all kinds of seeds and wonderful herbs and flowering plants that I've found at the local sharing crate at the church garden up the block, and taking time after the last opening to just enjoy the space as I put things back in order and add new decorations and plant new plants for the summer.
Right before the last opening celebration I found another bunch of wonderful vinyl records at an Estate Sale, this time they were mostly classical with a few favorite old musicals mixed in. I've been listening to those albums regularly, enjoying hearing the classical music that I've always loved and some of the pieces I used to play in my youth orchestra and chamber groups. Somehow at this time of the year with everything growing, the sounds of Mozart and Beethoven with a little bit of Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann mixed in along with Rogers and Hammerstein's The King and I and The Sound of Music are giving me so much beauty and joy and peace as I clean and rearrange and garden and plant seeds.
Beethoven's 9th was on when I took my walk around to video, and it really made me so happy to hear it. I'm so grateful for the gallery and for the beautiful people who visit and the beautiful inspiration that they bring and for the wonderful joy and beauty and peace that are brought to me in so many ways every time I am there.
