Hot Day After a Hot Show.

1-13-20 SHORT HILLS: Yesterday it was up to seventy, and Saturday was in the sixties, but now winter has returned. I did some outside work in the spring-like weather. There had been a lot of windy days and branches had rained down all over. The warm days caused lots of shrub and tree buds to swell. We need cold weather to make them wait for real spring and not get damaged by the snow and freezes to come.

Friday we had dinner with Alan at L’Allegria in Madison. Saturday we saw Moulin Rouge at the Hirschfeld Theatre. The show is a spectacle with flashing lights, strobes, spotlights, dancing and singing. The songs are pop tunes, dozens and dozens, used as dialogue. Most of the audience recognized them all, I thought I was doing well with knowing about half of them. Judy had wanted to see it, I was reluctant, but I loved it. We ate at Frankie and Johnie’s Steakhouse before the show.

Yesterday, we dog walked with Bebe and Ronny.

Before the show--all those lights flash, strobe, change colors during the show, there's an elephant, in blue, on the right.

It hit seventy yesterday, and the mallards and Canada geese are out on the water.
