On the first day of Neepawa Lily Festival


While I was painting this street view at noon, the Lily Festival officially started with the Tremaine Sisters ' beautiful voice floating out of the lily lounge behind me. Their beautiful vocal performance with their repertoire of beautiful
pieces of music all my favorite served as such a wonderful backdrop to the whole festivities on the street. Suddenly the last line from Wordsworth's poem Young solitary Reaper came back to my memory " The music in my heart I bore, long after it was heard no more." A delightful encounter on the street with the well known young Ladybug Hannah with her mother whom I first met a few years ago in Brandon at Keystone Center where Hannah was one of the invited guest speakers.
