Went to the concluding event of Queen's University's Pianofest yesterday evening. Very enjoyable to hear so many solo piano works by Grieg and Liszt played so ably by
Derek Yaple-Schobert. I chose a seat at the rear of the hall on purpose so I could do a little knitting without disturbing my fellow concert-goers. Does anyone else have strategies for knitting discreetly in public? I'm making progress with Quince & Co.'s Chickadee.
Today is strangely warm for March. It's hard to know whether our non-winter this season is the result of climate change, but one thing's for certain--the fact that Lake Ontario failed to freeze over was highly unusual. Just a few miles north, however, the Rideau Lakes not only froze, but are still mostly ice covered even though our air temperatures this weekend are in the 50s and 60sF.

| Yes, this is the remains of an "ice road". |
Today, the ice has that translucent look it gets just before the break-up, which will probably occur very quickly. With the air temperatures so balmy, laundry is being put out to catch the spring breezes.
Speaking of the spring thaw, I hope you've checked out Brooklyn Tweed's
new collection of the same name.
Any favourites?
