We’ve Arrived!

We arrived here at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology yesterday, Monday. Weather – sunny cloudy mix, no rain!

Arrival at Morely House

Social calendar – full. We’ve met residents about to leave and residents newly arrived, staff, and friends. So far, we’ve mainly been setting up our work spaces, getting the house in order, buying groceries and so on. But we did begin a little work. I wrote my first “lightning composition a day” – 30 minutes, one page of music paper, no restrictions, no rules – and Tish practiced recorder in the beautiful acoustics (but cold air) of the Boyden Studio. We went for a great walk with Corinne yesterday, and look forward to many more walks and hikes.
