it was swell

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.- Victor Hugo

Wow, that pretty much sums up the concert on Wednesday night. I wrote about them before, the duo from the movie "Once". They are on tour as "The Swell Season". They have a band, and then they brought along some street performers they found in Dublin. It was at the Orpheum (which I had never been to, so cool) and it was just an amazing evening.

If you want to hear more about it, someone wrote this review:

But what that doesn't tell you, is what it felt like, inside, to be there. Just magical.

Other things: The plant sale was a rousing success! In the five years I have worked it, it has never been so organized or error free. Kari did just an amazing job of planning each detail, and now Horace Mann families will have pots full of color. I have a whole truckload of things to plant, but sadly they will have to wait until it warms up a bit. So it will be the daily back yard to garage shuffle, until they can thrive. And once it all gets done I will post some pics. Finally, we have color!
