Here in Canada, we never have a shortage of conversational openers. We have, instead, the weather.
snowing even harder, March 25, 2014
It kind of looks like this right now, in fact, on March 27th, but I'm not getting my camera out to record it again.
what I was doing while it was snowing, March 25, 2014
It's not a bad way to spend an afternoon, really, in front of the fire, computer on lap, snow coming down. Even at the end of March. If I can stay awake, that is.

I've got so much happening this week that I haven't been able to check in here often. I'm getting ready for my trip (to London, England)! Planning! Coordination! It turns out that the London Book Fair is on at the same time, so I'll be meeting with publishers, too, and even going to a party (that means packing some different clothes than I'd originally planned, not to mention footwear). I'm also volunteering for my daughter's swimathon, this Saturday (you can sponsor her here, if you feel inspired; she plans to swim 5,000 metres!). And it's our youngest's 6th birthday on Saturday, so there's a party to be planned. Good grief. Not to mention all of the usual soccer and gymnastics and music and meals. And the book is about to become an ARC here in Canada! And I've been on the phone with the designer in the US to discuss an illustrated map for the book! And this daily yoga challenge continues, in a hopeless attempt to get me to the other side of what seems a never-ending winter, as pictured above: I'm on day eight. And I'm late for today's class, in fact, and need to run out into the snow right now!
