Hello friends! Outside of my window the dogwoods are exultant, almost fluorescent, and what was days ago (hours ago?) a green haze is now a ravine full of sunlit leaves. It’s about 90 degrees out there and just looking outside makes me feel thirsty. Some birds and squirrels are doing their thing, Otis the dog is asleep on his bed, and I am sitting here trying to find the first thread to follow to weave something useful for us out of all of the words, pictures, impressions, connections playing with each other in my mind.
I love beaver(s)! In Spanish we call them 'castores' (that's the plural) I used to watch a TV series documentary about them [and otters, and Spanish lynx] they were becoming extinct in Spain at that time at the beginning of the 70's. I think half Spain watched those documentaries and cried with me. Nowadays European beavers are back in almost full track mostly due to the defragmentation of the water systems in their habitats, a long process that is and will continue to happen. Like your book ;)

Stuffed! I remember you when it was just a wee idea and now it's grown to over 56,000 words. Congratulations Jennifer! I am excited, too!
