I have determined that participating in blog challenges is good discipline as a writer.

So apparently winter refuses to respect spring in Maine.   Of course, this is typical of New England weather, but still – after a week or so of warmer temperatures, melting snow, and patches of grass showing, last night’s snowstorm was not particularly welcome! This is the view outside my windows today – yes, it looks [...]
