Well, I got nothing. It's cold and grey and a bit damp and working its way up to frost or snow. Good weather for cooking comfort foods (bread, chocolate-orange-pecan cake, bran muffins, chicken soup), and for reading good novels (Never Let Me Go, The Echo Makers), and for watching odd but interesting movies (Jack Goes Boating, Ride the High Country). Otherwise, it's a bit like being a hibernating bear that's inexplicably wakened way too early.
Maybe next week we will become more lively. My 74th birthday arrives on Monday (I'm the oldest living member of my family, so no one is left who remembers the original event) and perhaps I can rise to the occasion.

Hydrangea on the Edge of Blooming
A blog about living in Point Roberts, Washington, a tiny and unusual community that is attached to Canada but belongs to the U.S., as well as about living in Canada; about being an outsider to the urban frenzy that characterizes the U.S., or as my Canadian friend calls it, 'The Excited States of America.'
