thawts

      I am presently thawing in places south of north and it's been very, very good. I've missed being here with you but the days are long, the sunshine high and it's impossible to be gloomy. This year Mark and I will be travelling a fair bit, probably just enough to keep me from finding the usual rhythm so I'll have to brush up on my improvisation skills. In short, it's a jazz year.
      There were mountains I saw, I wish you could have seen them, too. The colour of honey and sage and drawn up like hankerchiefs along the river. I wanted a horse and a million acres.
