Keely dusting off her violin

It has been over a year since Keely last played. During this time Keely has been focused on her dance. We took her to watch Tahlia preform with her orchestra team and that changed everything. Tahlia’s orchestra group was amazing and I think it planted a seed in Keely’s mind. Keely came home and took out her violin on her own and looked up songs that she liked on YouTube and searched for instructional videos. It seems that she still remembers how to play. She played the songs: “A Thousand Years” and “Despasito” .. my favorites.

Hydrangeas at Yang Ming Shan

Morris, Kasia and I took the trip this morning to Yang Ming Shan to check out the hydrangeas blossoms. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and I especially love the blue and purple varieties. It was unbelievably hot today. We thought we were smart to start early in the day and thought that it wouldn’t be so crowded on a weekday (Thursday). We were proven wrong. There were so many people already at the mountain appreciating the flowers. We wandered around briefly then made a mental note to try to arrive even earlier next time. We might have to get up at 5am next time. All in all the flowers were beautiful and I always have a good time when I am with M. ๐Ÿ™‚
