Dear Friends,
My dog's name is Ava. She loves music and joins me by laying under the piano when I practice.
I have the best of intentions for 2026.
I intend to practice one of my four musical instruments one hour every day. Ava will join me wherever and whenever I choose to practice.
I may practice the fiddle on the back patio.
I may transport the small 26-string harp to the patio or practice in the Loom Room*, my haven.
I cannot move the 5'4" new Boston piano. We will practice in the front room.
Ava will be happy wherever we choose.
I shall take my recently acquired Panda tone drum to the greenhouse/sheshed. The plants will flourish as we meditate together.
Ava has been in the greenhouse numerous times with me. I have been playing cds for the plants, for me, for Ava.
Ava is a committed fan. What more could I desire?
One dog, one musical instrument, one hour. Intentions for 2026.

Today I must teach myself how to put a new string on my Dusty Strings harp. There is a trick knot one must make. Thirty plus years ago I intended to be a harp student, but alas, my interest waned as other time consuming elements took charge, like a full time teaching job and afternoon piano students.
My harp practicing usually occurs in the morning hours.
This morning I shall now head back to the Loom Room and see if this restringing is going to be successful.
And yes, I fully intend to play "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?"
Keeping all in harmony with Ava!
Happy New Year,
Joan💗
