Winter’s Moon

Winter’s Moon: Lirycs by Timothy Price. Music and Vocals by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene.

The song for this year’s Winter Wolf Moon is very special because Teagan came up with the melody and music using my lyrics. In the past, I wrote the lyrics and music for the songs that Teagan sang for me. Teagan had to learn the melody before she would record her vocals for me to mix into the song. 

I wrote the lyrics for Winter’s Moon in early November 2024 and sent them to Teagan to review. She was inspired and came up with the melody and played the piano as she sang. I added acoustic guitar to the song, and we used NightCafe to produce images based on the lyrics and music.

Then I made two more versions of the song by adding electric guitar, bass, and percussion for a Metal version of the song, and then I made a version with only acoustic and bass guitar. I will post those videos later.

This has been a really great collaboration, and I am so impressed by the melody and music that Teagan produced for the song. I am also grateful that Teagan is willing to work with me on music.

Happy Winter Wolf Moon!

Well Hung

On their second day at work, our two new staff members had the exciting task of helping me hang Laurie’s 6×9 foot (183×274 centimeter) painting. There were five staff members involved in the effort. I used L-brackets to secure it on the wall.

I also inherited the 40-inch (101.6 cm) screen on the right from Tristan because she didn’t want to ship it to Germany. I really spread out my spreadsheets on that screen.

Library

Tristan left us a pair of bookshelves and a lot of books, so we put them in a library. I ordered a fireplace since the room is not heated and put it together this afternoon. We are still sorting out Tristan’s books and our books for the library. Since the top shelves on each side are a little over 8 feet high, we will eventually get a library ladder to access the top shelves. Our new library is cosy.

Hanging Paintings On The Wall

Sunrise.

One of the most significant things I’ve done, besides playing with birds, Jake, and the cats, during my Christmas vacation, is that I picked up three large paintings from Tristan’s house and took them to the office. Laurie painted them years ago. I hung two 4X6 foot (122 X 183 cm) paintings in the open work area where there is a drop ceiling. I have hardware that allows me to hang the paintings from the ceiling rails. The two walls large enough for the 6X9 foot (183 X 274 cm) painting do not have drop ceilings. Therefore, once we decide where to hang the larger painting, I will have to use brackets to hang it. I put the large painting on the couch and shelf in the foyer, leaning on the wall we could hang it on, until we decide where we will hang it.

The 6X9-foot (183 X 274 cm) painting. The painting would be hung about a foot above the couch and shelf if we hang it on this wall. The ceiling is over 13 feet (4 meters) high in the foyer.
