back into the swing of rehearsals; singing Mahler 8 with the NY Phil next month. fighting off family-colds (ok, they’re allergies and they’re no fun) and a sudden cold-snap which has forced us to put the sandals and sundresses away and go back to jackets and snuggly blankets.

these pictures from our perfect central park day a few weeks ago made me smile. the layers upon layers of greens, browns, yellows, pinks and baby-blues were breathtaking and make me more than ready for changes to come. and yes, there are many many changes to come.
