Music and Moonlit Meandering

Took Mikro to a music program for kids at our local library. He got to hear a trio of oboe, flute and bassoon and learned a bit about musical notation, and terms like piano, forte, adagio and allegro. The kids sang the scales, drew pictures to match the music, and the braver kids got to handle a violin (Mikro didn't want to...)



On the way home, we listened to the extremely loud seranade of the bugs. Crickets, cicadas and katydids harmonizing loudly. Of course, this inspired a bug hunt...



We saw an earwig, several spiders, pill bugs, crickets, ants, some beautiful miniroses, and most amazingly, in the woods just across the street from the library, we saw a group of young fawns bedded down for the night. There were 4 or 5 of them. Too dark and too far away to get a decent photo, unfortunately.



And there was wierd found art -- the DPW seals cracks in the roads in a very artistic manner:
