Write, clean up, research, write, edit, etc......

It's getting hotter which means more time outside for me and the little one. She has a vitamin D deficiency and sunlight helps with that. The summer also means that the grass is growing and there is no more putting off the yard work. This morning I was cutting grass with a pull-mower. You know the modern version of the old push mower. It's not ideal but the riding lawnmower is torn up. It refuse to crank once again.

The hours that can be spent working outside are now. The hours that can not be spent working outside are spent doing paying work and editing it. Research fits in there somewhere. The house well it's clean enough for me. If you want it spotless wait for an invite; if you're brave hold your breath while you wait.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
