Thermometer said 41 this morning. The first time in a while that it’s been higher than 40 degrees F. So warm, the kids and I rode horses in ankle-deep water; everything was melting. I am breaking out my swimsuit! (Not really, but it’s getting warmer, peeps!)

Kids have been home on holiday. Spent one of the mornings writing while my two younger ones were at day camp and my oldest was painting at the kitchen table, Yanni playing in the background. My novel rewrite is progressing well. Got over the “okay, so what now?” blockage in plot.
Such a peaceful, happy feeling. Especially when the sunlight slants into our red and yellow family room and makes me imagine a Tuscan countryside.

There are people bringing smiles to babies’ faces. Light to the darkest abyss. Heaven knows Haiti needs it.
