This is a picture I just took from my seat at the computer. I didn't edit it to make everything look nicer, but it's looking from the end of the dining room down the hall to the front door. My current knitting project is on the floor........a complicated sweater pattern that will probably take me all winter to complete. The piano seems to dominate the room, though that's not so true in reality. I have made a pledge to practice the piano every day and so far have pretty much kept it. I've chosen two pieces from the movie "The Piano." They are not easy for me by any means, but neither are they impossible. I love the music, so I don't mind hearing it over and over again. It took me more than a week to manage the first two lines of the first piece, but I kept at it with dogged determination. In the past I have jumped from piece to piece, never really doing a very good job on any of them. I stumble over the notes and give up. I feel I owe it to the piano as much as to myself to dig in and really accomplish some degree of expertise. It's been a humbling experience over my lifetime that I can't really do it very well. I taught myself as a pre-teen, then began to take lessons after I started high school. I have not to this day been able to overcome the bad habits I learned before I knew what I was doing. Well, it's never too late.........or so I hope.
There is still no snow on the ground, and I actually didn't need a coat when I went out today. I have to keep in mind, though, that the horrendous winter we had last year didn't really gather steam until after Christmas. We all appreciate every day that we look out our windows and still see grass and dry ground.
