2022 was the year that AI-generated art became widely-available. These are some experiments with the medium.

After Tessa returned from three weeks in the Advanced Strings program at Interlochen, we spent a week in Muskoka. Like us, the dogs enjoyed their time away. Gnocchi took the opportunity to do so paddle-boarding and kayaking!

Spring arrived in Ontario in fits and starts. Just as the early flowers began to emerge, we had a dusting of snow. School continued online because of the pandemic surge. As usual a pair of nesting geese arrived along with their goslings.

Some hints of warmth with winter aconite and snowdrops emerging. In the background, the COVID-19 pandemic has roared back to life. School is going back to remote work.

We spent much of the moment putting the finishing touches on more audition recordings and Tessa’s Kiwanis videos.

A typical cold snowy January, sheltering against the elements and against the pandemic.

In all ways, except for the pandemic, it was a normal October here. The trees were magnificent this year. No trick-or-treating for Halloween; but pumpkin-carving and scary movie night were just fine.

We spent a wonderful week in August up in the Muskoka lakes region. It was a relaxing time, reconnecting as a family, playing on the river, reading and napping.

July 2020 was a hot and dry month. Still in quarantine but the garden was insanely prolific.

The pandemic is still ongoing. Tessa started her Interlochen Online camp.
