YeahWrite #420 Weekly Writing Challenge: Popular Vote Winners
Sumer is icumen in And I'm not ready for it. The quince is flowering, the dogwoods are getting ready to do their thing, and that darn currant is already setting fruit. It's going to be a good year for blueberries, too. But it's been a rough spring, in a lot of ways...

O I spy a cuckoo, a cuckoo, a cuckoo It's the merry month of May, although quite a few folks in the USA and Canada can be forgiven for wondering if they woke up in the wrong hemisphere this week! But where I am (and, I hear, where Rowan and Christine are) it's sunny...
Year of Fearless Writing: Your Bio and Website

Spring in My Step After many days of rain, we finally have sun in New England! Plus, the trees are sprouting leaves, and it finally feels like actual spring, which makes me happy. Rowan is rolling her eyes, since she's a winter person, but at least one of us is happy...

New Year, new age, old me This week has been a big one for me. It started with Vishu–the celebration of the New Year in Kerala–on Monday. Vishu signals the end of the spring equinox in Kerala and the transition into the first solar month in the Malayalam calendar. The...
