courtyard daffodils, ballet class in london and a dance concert in nyc

 trying to bloom . . 

the flowers don't have it easy this year with all the last minute snow . . 

chanda did two ballet classes today before her audition tomorrow . .

 and drank fresh juice . . 

 and hot ginger tea to try and placate a growing cold.

 greg and i visited lincoln center to see the paul taylor company perform cascade, and company b, and the lyon opera ballet perform merce cunningham's summerspace. 

it was really a beautiful concert. we both loved it.

spring equinox

 it was a very grey first day of spring . .

with lots of sooty snow still lying about.

alternate side parking was not suspended for tomorrow, so nighttime saw greg and i outside attempting to extricate the car from a lot of ice.

a person doesn't need to haul the snow away, you just need to break it up so you can drive the car over it!

on the way back upstairs, greg rolled up a big box of craft items that used to belong to grandma boo, musa iona piper, greg's great grandmother and chanda iona's namesake. greg's cousin wrote a few months ago asking chanda if she and her sisters would like their great great grandma's crafting supplies. it'll be interesting to open the box with her and korrina.

 london seems to have been just as grey for the first day of spring. this pic is taken outside of pineapple dance studios where chanda went for a class with teacher roland price who once danced with the royal ballet. a friend of her's had just been there last week for a class with him while she was passing through town.

a pretty neighorhood photo, but i'm not sure what type of tree this is.

kensington palace.

i love this pic of morgana with her friend molly.

 they also visited the orangery for tea today.



 such a pretty place. i love the light from the long windows on the left.

snow pile

i've actually been surprised these past few days to notice that the snow piles along the sidewalks have diminished to almost nothing . . until chanda and i passed this monstrosity on west 11th street. maybe all the piles ran over and jumped en masse; a last showdown for the sun and the sanitation workers who've been waging the fight against them.
