Where have I Been?

This picture was taken back in July at the Amherst Early Music Festival during a Renaissance Recorder Consort class. I am playing my Prescott G Bassett recorder.  It is a wonderful instrument with a beautiful tone, very responsive and comfortable to play.  During the festival I also picked up a new G Alto from Tom Prescott, and I have been working on learning how to play it well. 

So while I have not been doing a lot of writing on this blog, I have been do a number of other things. Recorders have played a big role, including writing reviews of recorder music for the American Recorder magazine.  I am posting photos of flowers and animals in the garden on the Labyrinth by the Bay blog.  I wish I could get a picture of the young fox who has been wandering through, but it is very skittish.  Finally, having been away for five weeks in July and August, I have been digging large buckets of zoysia grass that invaded all of the flower beds.
