You are listening to a Clarks World magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarks World Citizens.

I hope this podcast finds you well.

And as the snow melts, my thoughts turn to spring

with the Connecticut River now swollen,

carrying the water that will now find its way to growing seeds and soon the daffodils will sprout

tulips and the buds of the willows will start to bloom. Can you tell how

excited I am? Because with spring comes renewed energy,

the ability to get things done and cross things off of those to-do lists.

And speaking of which, because I know you'll love this segue.

One of the things that we've crossed off of our to-do list here at Clark's World

is a reprint section of the magazine.

If you're active on social media, you probably saw the press release that we've invited multiple and

prestigious award-winning anthology editor Gardner D'Sois to lead the reprint section.

So, what does that mean for you?

It means another podcast every month.

This is in addition to the other podcast that we'll be doing if we should reach that 500

subscription mark and again word of mouth does it so if you can rate us on iTunes

if you can send a friend who's looking for something new to

read to the Clark's World subscription sites on Amazon or Waitless Books.

You're one step closer to that fifth podcast. So moving on to our first piece of fiction for the month of March, I am so happy to be able to read this to you.

The story comes from Alte de Boudard.
