Not Yet
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
With the exception of the hundreds of daffodils out back, the jailbreak of crocus, the small cherry trees with their blossoms (the big trees wait; they've seen spring before; they know there is no point in rushing), the season remains a suggestion here. Yesterday the sun was particles of yellow drift, and the sleeves of tree limbs glimmered, tinted and nubile. Driving, I was happy for red lights, for anything that allowed me another angle on the day.
Today promises storm. I will spend part of it by the sea.

so much rain here- pouring down- bliss to listen to but not to venture out in !
There is snow on the forecast here. I'm not pleased.
Well, it's currently snowing here... so who knows what's going to happen here!
By the sea! Wonderful--I hope you take pictures. It's grey and rainy here.
Hi Beth, I couldn't find a regular email address, so I'm doing this via "comment." I'm hoping you'll consider donating one or two of your young adult books: I'm putting together silent auction book baskets of local authors for a great nonprofit called Steppingstone Scholars, which helps underserved Philly kids go to more challenging schools and then colleges.

Would you consider donating an autographed copy or two to this cause? I could arrange pickup or the book could be sent directly to the Steppingstone Scholars offices at 230 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102.
The annual fundraising gala will be held on April 24, so I'd need to get the book within the next couple of weeks
I hope you'll join me in supporting this great cause. Thanks,
