What was supposed to be a “winter storm” ended up being a nice winter snowfall, but there was nothing storm-like about it. The snow just gently fell all night and all day today. Sure, it piled up and had to be shoveled, but it is hard to complain about light, fluffy snow that covers up all the dirty snow and makes things look beautiful again.  I thought it had stopped, but it looks like it is still coming down. I would guess we’ve had about 6 or 7 inches. I’ve shoveled a number of times, but none more than 3 inches.

Yesterday’s middle school solo/ensemble contest went fine. There were a couple vocal ensembles that were not too good, but many of the kids did a great job and went away with a first. My lone class A piano student advanced to state, which wasn’t really a surprise to me, but it was to him (having never been to state before). He probably plays that Schubert that I give everyone for their first Class A solo, the best I’ve heard. It was a bit of a challenge to get him to slow down and learn it accurately, but when he finally did, he learned it very well.

Nothing too exciting planned for the weekend. I’m feeling a bit like curling up with a good book.
