Ok, so it’s not the start of the year.  Roughly, we’ve hit the first quarter of the year (if using the Gregorian calendar), and we’re about two months in (if using the Chinese calendar).  But, I’ve decided that it’s never too  late to welcome the year 2014.  I am up to a slow start with just one short story to post mainly because I have been busy finishing my first novel for the intermediate reader.  It is currently being edited by my friend Maggie, and I am confident that it is in good hands.  So, while waiting for her comments, I decided to post a short, but definitely sweet story.  I wish I could draw as well as this is best rendered in color.  I think I will be writing more adventures for Chouette and her owlet, Hibbou.  Hope you like it!
