Spring is here... well, almost. I had a lovely nap on Good Friday in my lawnchair in the backyard. The sun was out and I just couldn't resist. Granted, the ground was covered in snow and I was covered with my blankie, toque and scarf, but ahhhhh, it was great!
My dear friend Lynne McIlvride Evans has an annual Easter Art Show, here is a photo of one of her pieces. If you're in Ontario, the show is worth checking out. Her art is truly inspiring. January 2009 New year, new adventures.... new songs, new recordings. I'm looking forward to what 2009 has in store! Here's hoping you have all been doing well, spending time with those you love during this somewhat frantic seasonal holiday. I'm back home in Winnipeg, enjoying the very brisk and sunny days we are having. The snow is beautiful... I often forget how much I love it. The river froze early this year, and folks are out skating. We even have a mini-skating path in our back yard! What fun! Haven't had that since I was a kid in Calgary... 
November and December were good months. The UK tour was fabulous -- a huge heartfelt thanks to all of the presenters and audiences who made the tour so memorable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to the British Isles this summer! Some of the highlights: - visiting some very cool historical places (Rosslyn chapel outside Edinburgh, Loch Lomond, the town of Eyam in the Peak District and hearing how the townsfolk quarantined themselves to prevent the bubonic plague from going further north...) We arrived home with just enough time for a few loads of laundry and then we were off to Alberta. It too was a great trip -- a spectacular show at one of my favourite Calgary folk clubs (The Nickelodeon), and then a very cool house/community concert in Camrose. Calgary was covered in snow, so much in fact that we couldn't leave the city when we had initially planned (the streets were literally parking lots) so we decided to stick around longer and visit more with good friends and family. Part of that time was spent with our friend Mike MacLeod who runs a very cool guitar shop out of his house. And... I now have a new guitar!!! A very beautiful Ted Thompson. I have loved Ted's guitars for about 15 years now and am very very happy with this new instrument. I'm looking forward to what songs are waiting to be discovered on it... Wishing you all a peaceful start to the New Year. Here's hoping Canada makes the BBC news again, but this time for positive news from Parliament Hill... maybe our leaders will start working together and focus on people and less on party politics! :) Peace to you all and THANK YOU for all the support this past year - Cara <For More Cara Journal Entries please clickthrough here

I'm heading out in a few days for a solo tour of Ontario, with a nice little dip down into the USA. I'm looking froward to seeing old friends, meeting new ones and sharing music with all of them. Check out the tour schedule for the complete list. I'll be home for a few weeks in May, and then I'm off to the Netherlands and the UK for most of the summer. Should be fun!
