Every day's a holiday!

Always a good time for celebration.

Two days left for 3,000 more words.

Woo Woo!

Ever so slowly a picture comes into focus.

Like a mist over water,

Once the sun rises,

The wind springs up and the mist moves off,

Leaving what you were looking at all along.

A Barn??

Couldn't it be a serrated knife instead?

Why does this novel have a barn in it?

Only four more days remain for writing, counting today!

This month the story is better,

the words more practiced,

the characters loveable,

but still no plot!

No Plot? No Problem!

Four more days to fix it...

Here is where the deus ex machina saves the day.

FULL FLOWER MOON

MAY 27, 2010

Last night, thinking we were alone watching the moon rise,

the woods came to life in celebration.

Ooooh!

COYOTES!

May 26

Greetings on this happy couple's 60th Wedding Anniversary!

The characters have reached a standoff.

It is the fourth week.

It's only 500 words short and I'll

likely catch up today.

But what to do about this denoument?

Orange azalea outside the house


A new perspective in orange

The environment is of utmost importance in the development of a cell. And since we are made of cells, the environment has a great impact on us too. We live in an environment that is the place behind and below the heart, where cells do a happy dance. Try it, you'll like it.

There's something about a stairway leading into a dark place.

It usually doesn't say,

Home again, home again,

Jiggity jig.

The firetower on Harney Peak

My back hurts from all the self congratulations for:

1.) Successfully reaching the summit

2.) Posting daily on this blog

3.) Driving almost 1,000 miles in a week

4.) Almost keeping up with the writing having no internet

5.) Caulking the gutter where patched and leaking

Libraries are great.

WIFI at McDonalds is handy.

Jet Blue is the best.

Hiking Harney Peak.

Lots of Mojo, if you follow that sort of thing.

Foggy, like a brain at high altitude.

Sunbursts, like an optic disk on hallucinogens.

Cooler than seasonal temperatures.

Perfect.

It was not a dark and stormy night.

It was windy, what a surprise!

The bluffs are "lovely, dark and deep

And I have promises to keep".

Sometimes it's easier to be a witness to the action.
Sometimes it's more fun to be the action itself.

Making a souffle is not so different from writing a novel.
The requirements include good ingredients,

the proper mixing, basic chemistry,

and the ability to resist looking into the oven until the time is right.

For a yoga student with an admitted 2 inch vertical leap,
And upper body strength of a sardine,
The aerial yoga teacher has her work cut out for her.

A pilot learns never to fly under a cloud like this that greeted me from Denver.

And then there was hail.

And then there were cars off the road.

What a surprising welcome to the west.

The writing may suffer, but maybe not.
