My mom and brother share a January 31 birthday, just as my dad and I shared June 10.

Bernicie and I took a short walk yesterday–she was barreling along, on the trails of passing turkeys and coyotes and deer, while I picked my way cautiously from dry patch to dry patch.    The fresh air was good for both of us and the weather, as I mentioned, was beautiful.  More sunshine today–I can’t get enough of it.

I’m working on the new book, and making some real progress, so I’ll be switching the blog-writing from the mornings to the afternoons, when I have my pages done.

See you then.
