It's because the notes are low enough on the staff that they should have the stems facing upward.
In measure 36, the third beat has the same problem.

Oh, I see! Thank you for clarifying. I must admit this is something I never follow as a rule (with the exception of very low notes). I prefer the stems to have the same direction within the same measure or phrase. I think that makes it look more "clean" and "tidy". I also like the slurs to be above noteheads and not stems except of rare occasions like polyphony, big "leaps" of the melody etc. . I will correct the triplet extending over the other notes.
Thank you goodridge_winners. I especially like the harp as an instrument, because it can evoke such a great feeling of calmness and tranquility and that dreaminess you mentioned. I consider it one of the most beautiful instruments (it is also one of the oldest). I plan to write many more solo pieces for the instrument...
