A Little Summer

Gentle Friends, I think Summer is upon us and now it's for sure, today at its midpoint we have arrived at the Summer Solstice.... which means I must post a lovely piece of Music...

... recorded at the Nyphenburg Palace, Munich... the first building you see in the video is actually not the Palace but the Pagodenburg, Royal Teahouse in the Palace Gardens...  Julia Fischer is the head violinist here with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Chamber Orchestra.  Enjoy!!

Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

A Little Summer

Gentle Friends, it wouldn't be the first day of Summer without my posting a bit of lovely Vivaldi...... from the Four Seasons...  Summer......

... Vivaldi's Concerto for solo baroque violin and strings in G Minor performed on original instruments by Cynthia Freivogel and the Early Music Ensemble Voices of Music.  It lasts about 11:36 minutes but it's such a beautiful piece of music it's worth a listen!  Enjoy!

A Little Bar-B-Que

Gentle Friends, Saturday afternoon the folks the manage our apartment building hosted a "Kick Off the Summer Pool Party." The weather was typically Summer in San Francisco.... which means bright and sunny with cold gale force winds and a temp hovering in the mid-50's.... a perfect day if you ask me!!  Here are some snaps...

 ... Mindy enjoying some of the roasted corn...

 ... mostly we were hanging out just eating and talking...

 ... eventually, some brave folks got in the pool, and even with our pool being heated (which is the only way you could swim in SF) it was only a few of the bravest to hit the water...  that's Tracy our resident manager in the unicorn float!!  It was a lot of fun meeting some new people that have moved in and just a really lovely day!!  Thanks, Tracy!!
