The Small Stuff

 I'm gearing up for a busy spring and summer, finishing a book, participating in an Open Studio Weekend memorial day weekend and a big show at the Spiral Press Café in Manchester Vermont in August. I'm looking forward to the summer, but the busy schedule that's just starting makes me appreciate these evenings at the park watching Little League practice.  I'm not looking forward to a summer of politics, but knowing that some of it is unpreventable, makes me more determined to appreciate and save these simple small town pleasures as they happen.
