| It's finally spring on the Periphery. All I can say is it's about time. |
1. My poem "The Problem With String Theory" is
out in the 2014 Nassau Review, in which the poem ruminates on string
theory and the game of cat's cradle.
2. Hey, closing in on actually getting a garden
planted. Maybe the snows have passed. *crosses fingers* Funny how I'm
not as enthused about it as I was back in March. I think the shiny seed
catalogs sucked me in.
3. Got a box with a sheep fleece in it. Both Corgis
had to stick their heads in and breathe deep. It does smell like a
barnyard. But it comes out in the wash, along with the dirt. Stay tuned
to see what gets spun up. It's a California Red sheep fleece. Wiki
article on the breed here. Pictures of a California Red Sheep here.
4. What to warp on the loom? I'm working my way
through different weaving books I've purchased, and making various
scarves. But I think I want to mix it up and make a bag, maybe with some
handspun yarn. I don't have a pattern - I think I can wing it. (Even if I can't, I will.) What's
the worst that could happen? It's wonky and I felt it?
5. A question that came up elsewhere - Dark or Milk
chocolate? Why or why not? Any particular brand? (Confession - I
ordered some Cadbury chocolate bars from England, because a friend told
me they were so much better than American Cadbury.)

Congrats on the poem publication! Working in the yard today....cleaning out the garden, planting some bare-root northern-grown perennials that Mick ordered. Not even sure what he ordered! Dark chocolate, definitely, especially with sea salt.
I had plans to garden build today, but it's raining. At this rate I'll only be able to grow lettuce!
Scott gave me some dark chocolate caramel with sea salt. Haven't tried it yet.
