The next few days will be busy ones for me, so my posts may be brief and I'll continue to be slow responding to comments. Rest assured that I do read each and every one of your thoughtful comments on my blog, but as you know life has a way of speeding up now and then. As it is, I'll be away on a field trip today, but rest assured I'll tell you all about it later this week. Thanks for reading, and for being such lovely readers, too — you are all wonderful.
