I think we’re saying goodbye to the #@#%&* summer. After months of excessive heat and gasping drought, we’re finally getting rain! In fact we were under a flood watch yesterday. The temperatures dropped like a lovely, magical cooling stone. (That doesn’t make sense. You know, I’d like to at least write a blog post without [...]

Elsewhere. But I’m back now. I wanted to add a photo of our changing leaves, but I didn’t care for the ones I took so maybe sometime this week. I also wanted to read. No time for that. A friend of mine is just now reading the Harry Potter books, and she’s tearing through them [...]

I finally got to the coffee shop this weekend, where I had a pickle, a delicious BLT on pumpernickel, and a yummy vat ‘o coffee. And the atmosphere was cozy and creative, and I wrote and wrote and wrote. While I listened to Sara Bareilles, “Gravity” on my iPod. On repeat. She was perfect for [...]

And I’m considering a break. Not from work; from a diet. I’m in the mood for bacon and eggs, and I’d love a pancake! And some coffee that I haven’t made myself. So, it’s a field trip work day. I’m planning to pack up the laptop, head out for a prodigious breakfast, and then mosey [...]

And it’s almost the end of July. I promised myself not to wish the *@#$*& summer away, but it’s flying past anyway. I hate that the days seem to pass at triple speed, even though I’ll be glad to see the end of this crazy heat. I’m a woman from the south. I should know [...]

Only one. Writing. Yay! No errands! No demands! No nice-to-dos! Though the cupboard is a bit bare, I don’t intend to stir today, except to the coffee pot, that most wonderful corner of the kitchen! I’m thinking veggie chili in the crock pot after a lovely day of writing! Turn on the music. Shut the [...]

Ahhhh, my friend, Insomnia. If I embrace you rather than fighting, will you just go away and let me sleep? Do you know how weird it is to be awake when everyone else on this side of the world is asleep? Sometimes, I get that I just don’t sleep like most people, but tonight, not [...]

Don’t they show up regularly? I’m at my computer, coffee to the left of me, music all around, and I’m ready to start on the day’s work. Busy afternoon ahead, so I need to get my head down and produce words! But, can I say, after days and days of 90 degree temps and humidity [...]

for a day or two. I’m going to weed the garden of doom and have a swim. Swimming in soup-like water is less revolting when the heat index isn’t in the triple digits! Of course, I may have to dodge the lightning. I’m watching the British Open this week, envying folks in their sweaters. (Yay, [...]

I should have posted this photo yesterday. It’s from our river cruise through the marshes recently, but it’s definitely a shining sea! Yesterday, I spent most of the 4th alone. I took the time to clean my somewhat revolting abode and whip up caprese and some mac and cheese for a potluck dinner with friends. [...]
