I thought it was just my alarm clock waking me up this morning, so I buried my head under a pillow to sleep just a little longer … until I realized that my alarm clock wouldn’t be set for 9:30 in the morning and certainly wouldn’t be set on a Saturday.

It turns out that the park area beside my apartment building is being used for a festival this morning and it comes complete with a bandstand and a Christian band. Which wouldn’t be that bad (9:30 is a reasonable time to wake up I suppose), except the singers can’t sing (the term “screech” comes to mind) and they have a wee bit of a feedback problem. And I can’t close my windows any tighter.

So I am actually being driven from my apartment by this festival. At least it looks like a nice day outside – I was planning to go out, just not quite this early, or before I’ve even had a chance to get breakfast.

I should have taken my mother up on her offer yesterday to have me and the cats come for the Easter weekend. Yesterday they were cutting branches off the trees between me and the park, today there is a “concert” in the park .. what will tomorrow bring??
