72 Hours in Bear River

I don't know where to begin. It's just beautiful here. I"m settling in nicely, Ursula and I have gone for some good walks up many steep hills. I went to yoga last night, and between yoga and the hills, I am really starting to feel my legs under me.

For the first couple of days I just hung out, had lunch with Robin my next door neighbour (who's opening her new gallery on June 25). I've also been over to Tim and Simone's a couple of times for dinner. I've already been asked if I will do a sound art workshop for the local artists, so I am having a pot luck and sound thing over here in the carriage house next week (it's a great performance space ... I feel like I'm living in a theatre). I've also offered to do an information session on starting a community radio station because this is the perfect place to have one. And I just got an email from a friend in Halifax asking if I can come down to help him for a couple of days on his documentary. So I'm even getting some paid work ...

It's feeling really good. This afternoon I'm going to go pick some flowers .. the lilacs are still in bloom and there are lupins everywhere.

I am getting so many ideas for new things to do. That's all for now .. I wrote something longer yesterday but for some reason the computer lost it. So I'm going to keep it short.

Still working on how to upload pictures from my camera. I have a lot of good ones so I will work on it.

The dogs just came in ... they sure get my attention. In the next couple of days I'll devote a whole chapter to Ursula, Seamus and Bronx. They're quite a team .. big enough between the three of them to pull a dog sled.

Hey, how about adding some comments, folks! That's what these blog things are for. I feel like I'm talking to myself here. All you have to do is click on the word "comment" on the bottom and a screen pops right up. Easy.
