BACKYARD SYMPHONY
2026-05-23
It occurs to me cousin Don, that your yard and home are equal to a great musical symphony in your creation and perfect work.
I have my cup of coffee on the patio table in the yard outside your Tualitin, Oregon, home. My iPhone is playing a musical piano competition in which 8-yr-old Yuki Tanaka is describing the nature and colors she sees as she interprets Beethoven on the piano.
Here I am, enjoying the morning sun, highlighting the bi-weekly manicured grass, carefully edged with a path of river rock; secluded with tall hedges; hearing the sound of the water fountains on the far side and the whispers of the breeze creating intermittent adagio moments of wind chimes next to sections of Japanese Irises opening to our May spring sun.
You are creating and living your composition!
