It's fun being on the other side of the pen.

Rhubarb coming up in the garden.

Twice in the last month I've had the pleasure to be interviewed. Once for my maple sugaring fanaticism and again for being a Girl Scout leader of a very active troop. It's nice being on the other side of the pen. It reminds me that there is more to me than these ten or so extra pounds that sit on my hips. How quickly we judge ourselves based on our personal failings. I don't know when the pieces will go to press, but it was nice to see the excitement I usually reserve for my own interviewees in the eyes of another.

Rhubarb also brings excitement to my life. Spring is here! The chives are coming up too.
