The daily procession!
Eleven turkeys today. The flock is reconstituting. For months five young turkeys came by with their mom. A trio and a singleton also appeared at different times. Yesterday I scared them to death simply by pulling into the driveway. They took off and flew through the trees to the other side of the street. Now that the lot across from our house has been sold, their travel and roosting patterns will be disrupted.
The previews for Lion King, Jr. were absolutely delightful. I went to the elementary program because they are always the most responsive audience. When the chorus sings "The Circle of Life," a parade of jungle animals enters from the corridor and proceeds down the aisles. The kids were excited, ooing and ahhing as they small animals entered, then they laughed and cheered when the giraffes arrived. Finally, a huge elephant lumbered down the aisle. As soon as they kids saw it, they burst into applause, laughing, whistling and cheering. It made me cry. The whole show is adorable, but my favorite performers are the warthog and Jerome who befriend young Simba, and the lioness Nala. She has an exceptionally mature voice for a thirteen year old girl. When backed up by the girl's chorus, their rendition of Shadowlands gave me goosebumps. I love all musicals, but I am a completely captivated by these kids.
I worked on revising the student leader application form and letter and then revised the adult volunteer form. After that, I sat and read my book, The Rosie Effect, for four hours straight. No book writing today. I had to reset since tomorrow I will begin the chapters of medium difficulty beginning with the history chapters.
