Hooray for the beautiful weather we've been having! I have been riding my bike to work a LOT, and I'm grateful that Jim has been spending more time in the yard now that he's retired--less mowing for me, but I did help out over Memorial Day. We enjoyed playing for some workshops at Dance Camp up at King's Lake in Wasilla. The two featured guest bands were awesome: Holly Dill and Crowfoot. I'm making plans for a trip back east in July, to visit family, and hopefully catch the last part of Irish Week in the Catskills -- yay!

Rode my bike to work for the first time this year on April 27th. My back seems to be holding up just fine, and I am practicing stretching exercises as the Dr. has ordered. Juneau was a blast, so was playing for the Symphony with Jim and Amanda. Hooray for Spring! Some rabbits have moved into our yard recently, and Jim says they have been eating the needles off of the young fir trees that we planted last fall. Hmmm, I hope they don't like rhubarb!!

April, 2010

I have been nursing a bad back for the last few weeks, and was almost ready to cancel my trip to Juneau. But after lots of bedrest and some muscle relaxers, the pain seems to be fading away almost entirely. I guess I will be heading to Juneau for the Folk Festival after all. Yippee! I'll be taking it easy, though, and I certainly won't be carrying my dulcimer around.

Shonti's new album is here!
