I only became aware of the Dear Susan community a few years ago. With interest I followed, then timidly I posted a few photos, then I submitted a few articles.

Well, better late than never, right? This challenge was announced not last month, not last year, but last decade. Unacceptable 😉 But music is worth the wait, so here it is finally. I’m usually quite nervous about forgetting contributions after a few weeks of receiving them via email. Not this time. This time […]
