Belovedest and I played board games with my sister Rachel. Lots of fun!

| A really close game... |
Auntie M. had a lovely birthday tea. It's becoming a tradition of elegance that I very much look forward to.

Lately....
I took Arwen to her very first circus, at the kind invitation of our Goddaughter Isabel's parents. We both had an excellent time!

Six Months at My New Job + Ash Wednesday
I wrote here about waiting until I'd been at my job six months to pick my goals for my new life.
I think I'm just going to keep praying for God to show me His will. And I'm going to try to take things one day at a time, and not live in a perpetual state of impatience yearning for the next stage of my life.

To all of my Christian readers: Best wishes for a holy and fruitful Lent!

Weekly Round Up
Lately we....
... enjoyed my sisters Rachel's performance in her parish's annual melodrama.
... started planning the garden
.... started planning the garden shed. We used an old role-playing map that can be written on and then erased with ordinary dry-erase markers, and then we made shapes in the sizes of the stuff we wanted to put in it.
.... decorated my office.

Triumph! A Clean Craft Studio!
I cleaned my studio!
For your own inspiration....
AFTER
It’s not perfect, but I can actually create stuff now. Sometime, it will be beautifully
organized. But for now, I’m happy to see
usable space.
BEFORE
Makes me happy!

And Centuries Later.... A New Whitman Novel
Isn't scholarly detective work COOL?
Or maybe I'm just a first-class nerd with the doctorate to prove it, but I thought this story was exciting.
A graduate student searching the archives of the Library of Congress discovered an anonymously published novel by Walt Whitman. How did he know the novel was by Whitman if it is was published anonymously? Read the New York Times article here to find out.
I worked on the Walt Whitman archive in graduate school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I bet my old colleagues were pretty excited by this news.
