here and there

Yesterday, I got this text message from my brother Nelson, "In LA. Just picked up Oscar tickets! X". Can you imagine? We used to sit on the floor in our pajamas, playing with legos together. You can bet I will have my eyes on the red carpet tonight! Nelson in a tux? I want photos!

Batman and Lindsey and 7 of her pals from Boston are up at "a bit of earth" this weekend, for the annual  tree pruning party. They've also done some forestry work, and added firewood to the woodshed. According to Batman, the place looks like it survived the wild storms last week. Still lots of snow, but warm temperatures and bright sunshine. Even some maple taps in the neighborhood. And the mud season road signs are up. Wish I could be there...but I had a board meeting at Wooster School, and that was worth my time and energy, too.

I will be doing a bit of freshening up here at sewandsowlife, in preparation for a new chapter. Some things will change as I try to simplify the look of my blog over the next few days. At long last, several different parts of my life are aligning. I look forward to sharing them with you soon.  My little mantra,"an empty nest is full of possibilities", has guided me well.

Enjoy the day!
