Kaya's 'hiking boots' - ballet style.
Just TRY and keep these athletes off of the rocks!
They love to pose...
...and pose some more.
On Saturday, we cooked a big breakfast for Summer and Kaya. It was cold and windy, but since they were in rehearsal all day and dancing the show at night, it didn’t make any difference. Naturally, they did a great dance performance at Armstrong, with a reception after at Cornerstone amid the Carl Reed sculptures and community luminaries.
Cath finished her part of the reading of the North End scholarship applications. She is the chair of that committee again this year. I laid out the ‘nudge’ postcard to be sent to 200+ of my classmates who have not sent in reservations.
Sunday was spent with Ballet West II. The excellent Colorado weather returned. Horst Richardson, Bob Carlson and Charlie Paterson lead a hike on the Palmer trail around the Garden of the Gods. What a perfect outing for these enthusiastic young dancers. Many of them climb the wonders of the Utah sandstone, and so REALLY related to our formations. We had lunch outside at the trading post and to our surprise, they had a great time panning for gold and trading their treasures!
We delivered them to the airport by 3 p.m., then went home to reconcile the checkbook. Later we finished watching Fiddler on the Roof.
The dusty miller moths have really invaded this year due to the mild winter – a nuisance, but not harmful.
