The weather this last weekend was astoundingly perfect. Too bad we couldn't really enjoy it. Saturday we were on the road, hoping to see good tree-age during peak season. Saw some but not much. Had lunch with my mom, checked the house briefly and headed for home. Birdie surprised me by wanting to go to Fort Vallonia Days, not the parade but the flea market. We ended up spending about three hours. I found a couple of DVDs and a David Drake book. His style is so ROUGH, but very compelling. Unfortunately, we left Vallonia JUST too late to see the trees on 446. Pity. It's so pretty on that route - that we used to drive every day - that sometimes I would nearly run off the road from distraction.
Yesterday was even more beautiful, weather wise, but we were working on the house so damned hard we barely noticed. Birdie scared me yesterday. I have never seen her sitting on the ground trying to get over a dizzy spell before. We were both push mowing the yard and we both did too much, but Birdie did WAY too much. It's why I won't let her be alone at the house during mowing season.
I didn't get much writing done this weekend, but some. One of these days maybe I'll actually be able to reliably get a LOT of work done on a weekend. Right. ;-)
Tonight is my first class of the semester. Looking forward to it, despite the geek factor. It's a political science class "Election 2008".
The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

I saw some pretty leafage Saturday. It's finally getting to peak here, way behind the usual schedule with all the warmness refusing to go (like today, another unseasonably warm day).
You guys -- stop with the excessiveness already! You need to take better care of yourselves! Remember the purpose.
Me, give up? Nah, not going to happen. Slow sometimes, but I don't think giving up is possible anymore. I won't say I've gotten over self-doubt, but I am thinking like Blake these days: Must follow the muse even if it makes sense to no one but me. No questioning. Follow the vision!
Oops -- forgot to sign out of the other account. Didn't mean to be pretentious with the title (just the words below it).
