It is April, my favorite month of the year due to all the significant history that hits so many days on the calendar. Another reason I love April is that my Mother’s birthday falls on April 6^th.

It was a Sunday of mixed weather that included a buffet of rain, cloudy skies, some wind, some calmness, sunshine, some chillier temperatures, and some very comfortable weather. All in all, it can be said that Easter Sunday was a lovely day.

I had several teaching gaps due to students who were on Spring break trips and encountered delayed flights, blown tires on their vehicles, and other misadventures. One student had a Zoom lesson in her family’s hotel room in Miami Beach, while another Zoomed from her van in French Lick, Indiana. Students are ramping up for spring musicals, ensemble auditions, and summer musical auditions.

 Saturday and Sunday, I accomplished a good deal of research and although I don’t feel any closer to getting to the writing, I am satisfied with what has been accomplished and how new ideas are swirling throughout my brain.

The threat of rain is with us, but not until the evening. It feels like it could erupt at any moment. Rain is here through Wednesday. My body has not had relief from the intense aching due to the barometric pressure, and it looks like it will be with me a few days. I live with the aching every day, but the weather can make life unbearable, but doable.

On with the day, and on with the week. Make it a great day!
