Winter revisited

It snowed all day yesterday and much of today.  How utterly strange it feels to wake up and momentarily think you've traveled back in time. I must confess sheepishly that I planted some spinach last weekend. Chalk it down to the follies of spring. The warm weather and sun went to my head. Then I listened to Marjorie Harris's gardening segment on CBC's Fresh Air, and I could almost see her wagging her finger at us all in admonishing tones. She told everyone to just cool it and resist the urge to rake and meddle in the garden. "It's too early!" she scolded. Well, she was right and I feel foolish as I watch my raised beds shiver under several inches of snow.

I'm getting excited about the CD launch concert at Hugh's Room on May 24th. There's been so much interest in the new album, I feel blessed and thrilled all at once!  And, in addition to Joey Goldstein, Kieran Overs and Anthony Michelli, who all played so fabulously in Guelph at War Mem Hall last week, we'll be joined by Kelly Jefferson who plays on six tracks on the album. So I'll have the whole band with me and I'm really looking forward to that. Hope to see you there!

Meanwhile, I can report that, though the spinach might be doomed, my little tomato seedlings are going like gangbusters on the window sill...
