Wow - you sound like super Mum, Kate.

I know how unrelenting that work is...... and you describe it well, with fortitude and humour.

Oh! And thanks for recommending my "What The Water Said....."

Days when children - or anything - exhaust me, I would think of a favourite place in the wilderness, and imagine how it is, at this exact moment - still there, leaves blowing, river flowing, clouds flitting overhead... without me, without anyone. It's something I still do, sometimes at night, to help me drift off to sleep, imagining the sound of my favourite river, at my favourite camping spot.....

Hi Kate, it’s always amazing to see and feel how you can put all of your heart—no, all of yourself—into your writing, no matter whether it’s the breathtaking or the mundane of which you’re writing. Thanks for the panoramic view of first light on the du Cane range, even though that bird squawking pissed off my cat Rodney. Daisy, bless her little heart, slept through the bird’s vocal vulgarity. You’re in our thoughts, prayers and hearts, always and forever here in the waning days of winter in Western New York.
