Pictures from the bestest baroque garden



Wow! This is quite amazing-- I am teaching baroque dance in a baroque palace overlooking the baroque garden. Unbelievable!

I have 15 adorable students, 2 of whom are full-fledged women and the rest are pre-teens or teenagers (maybe not ALL of them are 14). They are so sweet and eager to learn, and it is fantastic to teach dancers again after the musicians (I like teaching musicians as well, but they are entirely different and the whole process is more "intellectual" and less "dance-y" {I put those words in quotes because dancing is also, of course, intellectual, but in a different way that is not as known to the general non-dancing population}). But I digress.

I haven't even seen everything yet at the palace, but I hopped quick into the internet cafe to share these jewels with you, my public.

(sigh) I wish my garden looked like that! Mine's okn if you like lots of balck eyed susans, and a lovely rose of sharon.....
I understand the diifference between different types of professionals in the same general area- dancers/musicians, clinical scientists/nurses, physicians (who are scientists of a sort) different frames of reference, different critical areas
looking forward to seeing jeremy, although i had a lovely lunch with you and mary ellen in youngstown.

Wow is right! I am soooo jealous! Glad you're enjoying teaching.

Steeler Mom, I enjoyed the lunch also. Thanks again. When will Jeremy be with you?

Me, too! I liked the lunch very much, too! Sorry, Madame Steeler Mom, I meant to comment on your sweet facebook note...

More pictures when I get home and put them on the computer from the camera. I must have taken 30 pictures walking around the garden yesterday, and I STILL haven't seen everything!
