I went to a show by fiddler Hayden Stern and his band at Luthier Collective.

I was introduced to second position, and my first student recital is approaching.

I photographed a skeleton playing an old decorated cello at the Wood & Strings music and repair shop in Arlington, Massachusetts.

I attended a New England Conservatory First Monday concert at Jordan Hall.

I am beginning to learn how to play slurs.

I attended a performance by the Borromeo String Quartet, who played three string quartets by Beethoven.

For my easy reference, I built a list of bookstores on Cape Cod and the Islands.

I walked and bicycled in Shawme-Crowell State Forest before driving home, making a stop on the way at Myles Standish State Forest.

Today I drove to Gray’s each, the Edward Gorey House, and Titcomb’s Bookshop. In the afternoon I walked to the Sandwich Glass Museum, and I stretched my legs on the bike.

I rode 35 miles total from Shawme-Crowell State Forest to the north trailhead of the Shining Sea Bikeway and back. I walked 5.6 miles in the afternoon.
