The sun is out in brilliance this morning, melting the snow with a vengeance. Felix cheerfully put on his swimsuit and clothes for his swimming lesson this morning, even though he was absorbed in playing with his Thomas trains. Thank goodness for small favors.
Dan made me a wonderful birthday dinner with ribeye steak, mashed potatoes, asparagus (it's asparagus season!) and box brownies complete with a candle. I got e-mail birthday greetings, phone messages, and even a card from my sister Monica that arrived right on my birthday. She called this morning too.
Spring will come in its own time. This being Montana, more snow will fall in the coming weeks, but Elise's daffodils are poking their green spears through the mud.
About Me
- Marilyn BG
- Resigned 2 years ago from my job as a tenure-track professor of Japanese literature and culture, after spending 17 of my 40 years at it. The challenge of getting a PhD and being in a high-pressure career served me well, but it's time to make space for creative pursuits. So along with the horseplay and banana bread baking with my 4-year-old,I'm trying my hand at creative writing, cultivating the "beginner's mind" with guitar and drawing,and seeing whether I can get our house to look perfectly decorated--HA!
