We had last seen Ani at Falcon Ridge maybe 20 years ago and I don&#8217;t remember anything of that performance except her big tour bus. She put on a good show, lots of people sang along to most of it but for me the best song she played was &#8220;Our Lady of the Underground&#8221; from Hadestown which she originated on the the 2010 album. She also played Persephone on Broadway this past year and it was cool to see her &#8220;Broadway&#8221; performance of the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mochiandcolleen.com\/images\/2025\/AUGUST\/ani1.JPG\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.mochiandcolleen.com\/images\/2025\/AUGUST\/ani1.JPG\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4399\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Little Elmore Pond Hike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mochiandcolleen.com\/images\/2025\/AUGUST\/littleelmorepond1.JPG\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.mochiandcolleen.com\/images\/2025\/AUGUST\/littleelmorepond1.JPG\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4400\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Colleen and I hiked out to Little Elmore Pond today.
