Your Gaithersburg Book Festival sounds like so much fun.  I enjoy having the opportunity to hear authors speak. I think these people and how they relate to the world is especially interesting.

We have a chilly morning in Kentlands. This afternoon should be a good time to do some clean up work in our home garden.
