November 28 / the trumpet

I spent much of the day downtown, dropped off some work for a holiday pop-up shop, and went to a matinee at the TSO, including some Mahler and Alison Balsom playing trumpet.

the teeth / November 27

Dental checkup!  A little bird visited the feeder this morning, which I think was a carolina wren - reddish brown, buff chest, light eye bar, long 'perked' tail, some dark flecks around the base of the tail.  Also dropped off some silk clutches to a local shop.
