Violin Concerto for Mums in D Minor



We started renting a violin for Fiona. The bow is purple. Her lessons should start soon. There are free group lessons during school once a week, but I think we are going to look into private lessons as well. She also wants to learn piano, which is great, but I said let's take it one instrument at a time.

She's coming down with a cold or something. She came home from school today with a sore tummy and a runny nose with sneezing. She said she just wanted a box of tissues, a bag for used tissues, and her violin, so she could practice "outside in the fresh air next to the mums".

This violin is so small, it's like a pinky violin.

Oh, by the way, the carpenter did a fantastic job with our windows. We're definitely keeping his number for future projects. He's also very cool in that he wears kilts. I guess it is his trademark, because when you write out the check, you make it out to "The Kilted Carpenter". So if anyone needs a carpenter in central Vermont, give a shout out in the comments.

Adorable!! I love it!

Btw, someone at work is trying to say I have a purple house. I had to dig, but I found a picture of your house and said "THIS is a purple house. And while I'm jealous and wish my house were this color, it is most definitely blue." They agreed.

(2) omg! I played violin for 7 years! I must come visit and bond with Fiona over the stickiness of rosin.

She has so much personality and confidence!
If I thought I could find one that wears kilts, I'd hire a carpenter.
