Because
Because it’s cold and I refuse to turn the heater on in May, May 19th for criminy’s sake, I started a fire in the woodstove. Because I haven’t actually left town in seven weeks, and I haven’t seen a good…
Rain
It rained today. Still is raining. Well, it did stop for about an hour, but mostly it’s been raining all day. Girlie had to play soccer in it and frankly it was cold. In the 40s. But we really need…
I swear I did do something today
I’m just not sure what it was that I did do. I did a lot of tinkering on the website, with some help from my web editor who did a tune up on some things, bless her. Makes it significantly…
Snippet
I’m having doubts. This is the latest snippet. Does it make you want to read forward? Do you connect with Taryn at all? (I know, small snippet, but what’s your reaction?) I know it’s rough, so bear with me. …

It’s dog shedding time
I’ve not got much news, I’m afraid. School ended, and nothing so far has come from the showing this week. My folks arrived early, so that’s been wonderful. Weather is good. Thought we might get a thunderstorm today, but it…
One day more
And it is one day more for this semester. In honor of that: We have another showing tomorrow. Hoping hoping hoping! It was lovely today. Things are greening and growing. Maybe I’ll get lilacs soon. Oh! and the peonies have…
