Classical music isn’t all jewels and fine dining.

In fact, a touch of Brahms while gardening can be

 quite delightful.

 

Perhaps that’s why Plantsmyth owner

  Alan Leighton  didn’t hesitate when I asked

 him to put together a

basket  for the Symphony League’s Sneak-a-Peek auction.

 

You can get an idea of the tremendous generosity of our business community by

today’s photo. 

 Plantsmyth employee Rachel started with a moss lined planter and really

put some thought and energy into this idea.   There’s a copper thermometer, bird house, rain wand, flowers seeds, gloves and more.

 

Obviously, Rachel has an eye for color too.  The basket of “dry goods” is just as attractive as the flower baskets the greenhouse workers create  in the summer.  This basket will be on display at the Arrowhead Country Club on Saturday, Nov. 7 for folks to peruse while they nibble canapes, sip  fine wine and listen to James Van Nuys & Friends.   AND when we start up the auction they’ll be able to bid on this fun basket donated by Plantsmyth, along with many others. 

 

ALL OF THE MONEY raised by this Symphony League event  supports the Black Hills Symphony Orchestra and music education in our community.  (see the previous blogs for more auction item info)

If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please call me at 342-3328.    As Auction Chairman, I am trying to get everything rounded up before Nov. 6.

 

JACQUELINE SCHWAB is on her way.  She called from Colorado yesterday and we discussed the possible storm coming this way at the end of the week.  I may have to leave a day early to collect her after a concert in Scott’s Bluff before we get socked in with snow.  Jacqueline was worried about having to cancel a concert, but I told her our first goal was to get her here.  Once she is safely in Rapid City, I say , “Let it snow!”  and we can all enjoy even more of her piano playing.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  mlt
