It was a thrill to see this perfect Studebaker in the parking lot the other day. I’ve always loved this make of car.
We have a heated mattress pad. 🐈
It’s worth it to go down to town in the spring, when it’s still winter at home
April in New Hampshire
Wrapping my head around teaching the next few webinars. 🏫 The material is so intertwined that it’s hard to get things into the right order. Grateful for Zengobi Curio - Note Taking, Mind Mapping, Brainstorming which helps me to move topics around and visualize the order.
Battling the NH Vaccine website. Today is the first time those of us 50+ can sign up.
Another wonderful day skiing with my cousin in New Hampshire.
Our nutty kitty 🐈 loves to jump into piles of crumpled paper. It’s better if there are different styles of crinkly: tissue paper, butcher paper, cellophane, etc.
It’s alive! We’re loving this blooming amaryllis providing color in mid-winter, as well as our still-blooming Christmas Cactus and about-to-bloom clivia.
It’s light enough to run 🏃♀️ after work!
Yes! I found a sporg! This was growing in the crawl space of our Town Hall. We found it when we were doing a walk-through prior to beginning a renovation project.

These rare Lady Slipper’s orchids, which return every year in this remote spot, give me hope.
I am craving the homemade cookies that used to show up every Monday at our local contra dance.
Day 6: sport
Skiing is my favorite sport, closely followed by swimming, and more recently running 🏃♀️ (in the Galloway style).
Cat in a box Pets 🐈
And I had on more layers than this when I was skiing earlier today

Morning beverage — one oolong leaf which gets more hot water all day

Woo hoo! Nearly 5 miles at 9 degrees F🏃♀️

T - 9: Teaching again
The Agile Project Management course that I teach begins in nine days. The 2021 version is almost a complete rewrite as I shift from 50% online to 100% online (thanks COVID-19). Here’s my Curio planning file, currently on its 19th revision.
