It is snowing again!

Yesterday it was like spring. A man came with a truck yesterday because he wanted the apple wood that had fallen from our trees during the big December ice storm. Since it was in the 50s yesterday, the snow was melting and the yard was muddy. So the man could not drive his truck around back to pick up the wood. Allan said, "Maybe you can get it in about a month. It is nice today. But you never know. This is New Hampshire. Tomorrow it might snow."

I (Carolyn) usually go to school to teach a class in the afternoon on Mondays. But the roads are really slippery. So here I am at home. We thawed some pumpkin that we had left over from November and I made a pie. It was fun watching the snow falling outside while we were nice and warm inside enjoying the aroma of pie baking.

Pedals! Pipes! Pizza!

Today Mom/Grandma and I (Carolyn) went to an organ demonstration at Phillips Exeter Academy. As a piano teacher I was invited in case any of my students might like to take organ lessons. Abby Siegfried, the organ teacher there, did an excellent job describing how the organ works - old ones ("trackers" like Bach played) and new ones. The one in Exeter was built by hand in Italy with 3 manuals with pedal board and 2,699 pipes! I should have brought my camera! Listening to Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" surrounded us with sound - especially since we sat in the front row. Afterwards we were all invited to have pizza. So it was a fun time.
