Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particular the first of the 4 violin concertos, called Summer.
This morning, I went out early and saw the resident cat of the local shrine. The tentage behind it is setup to serve vegetarian lunch to worshippers of the Goddess of Mercy on the 15th of the lunar month and today is the 15th day of the 5th lunar month. The cat seems to be just waking up.
