Another edition of what’s on my camera roll. What’s on yours?
Last week was rain, rain, and more rain. We had 5 days of pretty much non stop rain (not that I was counting) and I took this picture on day two of the deluge. Our back yard was a lake. I was wondering if it was ever going to stop but finally on Friday, we had a break in the rain. It still showered a little bit but not the day long downpour.
When the sun finally came out, Holly took full advantage of a sun spot as cats do.
Of course I was happy to have one whole afternoon to lay on the couch and read with this fuzzy friend.

That’s the spot!

We JUST finished up the AAUW Used Book Sale 2 weeks ago and already the donations are coming in. It’s a good thing because we can sell online at our eBay shop (ManyBooksLIttleTime) all year long. I went in to the Book Nook and our table was filled already with books to price!
This past weekend was Opening Weekend for the Brevard Music Center. Chris and I usually try to go to Opening Night and this year it was a fabulous production of Carmina Burana. Now I did not know what that was until I heard the first number O Fortuna (I will put a video at the end of the post for you to listen to see if you recognize it). We went early and enjoyed a little pre concert treat. The concert was truly amazing. So much talent in one place and we were thrilled to be there on opening night. They do it right there, let me tell you!
So tell me, do you recognize the first minute or so of this piece? I think the production at BMC was even better than this one. It has been used in many movies and as soon as I heard the opening I remembered it but just did not know the name. Have a great day, my friends.

Leave a commentWow! An amazing piece of music. We could use some of your rain here. It never gets spread out evenly does it.
Yes!!! The Cleveland Cavaliers (our NBA team) played this as part of their game intro. The music thundered throughout the arena and all 20,000 of us cheered! (Haven’t gone to as many games recently, so don’t know if it’s still part of the show.)
Wow- do you always get so much rain?
My camera roll is probably 50% cat pictures and videos these days. Our two are so funny and make us laugh every day!
Oh yes, to that musical piece, I do recognize it but like you, didn’t know the name of it. We needed some of your rain as it’s been very dry here. We had a bit this weekend, but need some more.
Goodness, send some of that rain to Minnesota. We are in a drought here, although we did get some rain this weekend. Books and music. Can’t beat those.
We finally got rain yesterday. But still could use more.
Oh yes I recognize that piece! I think I want to live in your community!
Wonderful pictures and Video!
Speaking of pictures…I would have tweeted this, in another year…have you seen Maria Pavlik’s llama pictures?

Ooohhh, I loved having a partner, going to book sales, and filling the back of the car with books! Glad you’re having fun!
