 We've been at this ten weeks! Have you noticed that the more you notice the more there is to notice? Have you felt that even if your notebook has stayed closed some of the days, the act of assenting to One Hundred Days of Keeping invites the conversation to continue whether we feel like it or not ? (Can a notebook actually nag?) Charlotte Mason claims that ideas have "ancestors and progeny" (grandparents and children). Just like this dandelion, closed tight for the rain, doesn't mean nothing is going on, keepers come to see ideas will inevitably blow wherever the Spirit moves. May the keeping spread like dandelions! It's never too late to start.

 Snow in April can feel a little off kilter! I had a couple of days this week where missing one part of my daily routine meant missing another part...and so on. How about you? The beautiful irony is my Book of Firsts, wherein I did eventulally manage to record the offending precipitation, let me know that it snowed the same day last year. "Always we begin again!" My notebooks keep me keeping!
 Does keeping one notebook lead to keeping others? What to do with all this glory - Book of Firsts, Nature Notebook, Poetry Notebook??? One hundred days with just one makes me familiar with all that is particular to it but also stirs a longing to explore the character of the others. How about you?
 Halfway! Is your keeping practice helping you to live from your Center? Can you feel yourself returning? Some things are so fleeting - one minute a catkin, the next a leaf! I have been thinking about what attending to "the things written in the world around us" requires. What a feat of will it is to look and then take up a pencil....each time! Let's celebrate all successes on the way to becoming noticers.
