You make plans, but they don't always mean much of anything. Which is to say that, on Saturday, I only made it one page into Alabaster: Boxcar Tales #11. There was too much of the story still to be worked out in my head. Mostly, issues of pacing. And that consumed a huge chunk of the day. Then, yesterday, I had to get Sirenia Digest #88 together

The cold has returned, after our very short flirtation with spring. Right now, 59˚F, which is our forecast high. Here on the 13th day of May.

I seem to have caught a cold when I went out in yesterday's 101˚ weather. Even hot days are no match for irony, I guess.

Those are great photos, the last one particularly.

Oh...for 101˚F. Sorry about the cold, though.

Sorry about the cold, though.

Likewise.

Yesterday I learned of the "Ice Saints" of Northern Europe who are said to account for frosts this time of year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Saints They do seem to have expanded their influence to New England!

Cool. I never knew about the Ice Saints.

Those are really exquisite photos by Spooky. Incredible shots of the bee, but I agree the last one is my favorite. Also, belated congratulations on the Locus Award nominations! Luckily it is my day off so I can go dust off my bookshelves and search out Fake Plastic Trees.

Lovely photos. Good luck on the writing...

I absolutely adore “Turning the Little Key.” I found myself reading it aloud, and it hit my mouth just right.

Thank you.
