patti smith and tubby the tuba and . . TIME!

we haven't been to a little orchestra concert in years. my friend convinced me to attend this morning's concert because patti smith was narrating tubby the tuba.

 
it was fabulous! we really enjoyed it. and the artists they had on beforehand were amazing. there was a japanese pipa player, a cellist, an opera singer (who sang the famous aria from the magic flute), and a tap dancer (who tapped with the orchestra to a piece composed by morton gould specifically for his friend who was a tap dancer). but the most poignant part for me was, of course, hearing patti smith's voice and just being in the same place with her beautiful, vibrant aura. she's a magical being for me, especially as i find she embraces her feminine self so gloriously: the dark, the light, the child, the woman and all the shades in between. she makes no apologies for any part of herself as a woman and simply lives as a beacon of strength.

morgana ran off after lunch to ballet class and opening night of her ballet school's spring concert. here she is coming home. she said it went really well and she had a great time.

and of course she was hungry!

it was chanda's turn to make dinner tonight, but she . . ran out of TIME!
