Morning Medieval Miscellany

... and back to our normally scheduled programming.

• Hammered Out Bits talks about a lecture that will take place today.
• Lingwe tells us that Verlyn Flieger will be speaking on “When is a Fairy-story a Faërie Story?” in Albuquerque Thursday night.
• Sumer Is Icumen In over at The Medieval Garden Enclosed.
• Speaking of spring, Quid Plura also has a post about April.
• Medieval Material Culture Blog has links to two exhibits.
• In what basically amounts to a collection of all my obsessions in one post, Podictionary has a post about the word impair and its history involving Boethius, Chaucer, King Alfred the Great, and JRR Tolkien.
• Steven Till is hosting a discussion of your favorite underrated fantasy or historical fiction novel.
• Here's a blog called Medieval Silkwork I had never heard of before. It doesn't post often, but has been around for a while. h/t A Stitch in Time

I'm glad there weren't too many things to link to today; I'm still getting used to this keyboard. Hopefully, the MMMs will once again be a semi-daily posting.
