It's been. That's about all I can say. In the two weeks since I turned in the completed manuscript of The Everyday Naturalist to the publisher, I have been to Portland both weekends for teaching and tours, written a bunch of shorter-form pieces, AND compiled all the numbers and paperwork for my taxes, which is a very complicated process given that I'm self-employed and doing a bunch of different things for a living. And my to-do list is still super full for the next couple of weeks as I try to get everything done that needs to be done before I head out on the road for Missouri again.
But, like this stream violet (Viola glabella), I am emerging from under all of the detritus into a new spring day. I'm incredibly fortunate that the bulk of what I am busy with is made of all things that I love doing, and that there's enough of it to keep me afloat. And I have some great plans as the year continues to unfold, so keep your spring peepers on this space!
