Calendar Girl Blog: My Room With My View

My office, where the majority of my blogging happens, has a south facing window. This is the view, taken through my newly installed window. Yes, that's my hand and my camera reflected in the glass.

If you look in the top left corner, you will see blue sky. Finally, after weeks, the sun emerged. I'm baking in it as I type. You will also note the house directly across the street is grey. Today it looks charming. Yesterday and for the last thousand dull days, it simply added to the grey palour of the weather and my mood.

Gareth Lind, the calendar designer, lives just outside of the photos right edge, in the third unit of the red brick four-plex beside the aforementioned grey house, which is owned by an elderly woman and her artist painter son. My furnace man, who I fondly think of as Superman, because his first name is Clark, owns the barn shaped house.

This afternoon, I am packaging up calendars that will be shipped to: Correo Bruin, Chile; Edmonton, Alberta; Kanata, Ontario; Hudson, Massachusetts; Fairview Heights, Illinois; Sherwood Park, Alberta; Saskatoon, Saskatchwan; Calgary, Alberta.

Calendar Girl finds it remarkable that she can connect with people from so many places, sitting in her office with her view. Within the next few weeks, depending on mail service, these folks will be removing the cellophane from a Breast of Canada calendar and hanging it on their wall.

The world is small.
