New Favourite Tree column up!
"In December, trees are dormant. But the people who live with them are still active, thinking over the events of the past year and making plans for the year to come.
Winnipeg’s urban forest has been challenged over the past year. First, the trees faced drought conditions for much of the summer and record amounts of precipitation in September, followed by a catastrophic Colorado Low storm in October Read more of this blog post »

“Two things consistently bring me pleasure: hot sweet tea and writing. Which is not to say that either are particularly good for me…I use entirely too much sugar and so far don’t find sucralose to be a good alternative. Also, writing is not a practice that engenders confidence. Quite the opposite. It’s about making yourself deliberately insecure so that you can write the next thing and have it be worth reading.
And that’s not even taking into consideration the business end of things, which can make you bitter if you’re not careful…
But I’ve spent my the bulk of my life to date figuring out the right mix of fat and sugar in my tea and also, how to get incrementally better (I hope…) at the writing, so I’m not giving it/them up!”

“Most everything influences my work. Working in a used bookstore. Going for walks in the woods and peering at mushrooms. Writing reviews. Coming from frumpy, grumpy, faded-at-the-knees Winnipeg.”
