Trout lily season in the woods, blink and it’s gone (the blossoms anyway, the leaves that give their name are everywhere.)
Aha, I hadn’t looked out front yet, they weren’t there yesterday!
Indeed, and also worth noting that Carney’s language comes close to quoting the famous closing sentence of Jack Layton’s final message to Canadians (for non-Canadians, NDP leader JL nearly became our prime minister in 2011, before succumbing to cancer a few months later.)
I spend large amounts of time talking about music….also listening to it, playing it, and doing live sound for other people it. Tonight it was a lovely bunch of Berber musician in a tavern under a highway in Montreal in -20c weather…
Did you see Newsom’s take? Not only seemly condolence, but saying we should “carry on his work….”
I was very glad about Chrétien keeping us out of W’s stoopid war, but unfortunately this is what we got from Carney:

Happy belated St. David’s Day to all Welsh & adjacent! We’ll be sure to play The Ash Grove at the session today, which is 3-6 at The Wheel Club on Cavendish…

Samedi soir le 25 Jan 7à9 à La Petite Marche, the X-Pat Trio (aka Belfast Andi & I, with Jeff Deeprose joining on fiddle & mando) will regale you with tounes & sangs from the auld countries (including a couple of Rabbie Burns numbers, for the day that’s in it.)
Th’Immediates had a lovely time at Quinn’s in Ottawa on Saturday, and always fun to wing that third set with Gentleman John Allaire too!
The comings & goings of some “wee cowrit timorous beasties” t’other day in Terry Fox Parc, sur la falaise St-Jacques…
