Tuesday...

No posting lately because I've actually been getting some writing done. I love it when the story presents me with characters and plot twists I hadn't expected... makes it much more fun. I'm well into the second third of the book now, and things are bubbling along well (like my second batch of mead).

On the gardening front, the last of couple of days I thoroughly watered trees, roses, and lawn. Naturally, of course, we had an extended thunderstorm last night with a good soaking rain. The rain was still welcome; the 1/2 to 3/4 inch hail, rather less so. Some damage to the garden, though mostly not serious. Not the kind, anyway, which turns tomato plants to salsa, and which Denver is quite capable of...

My internet connection is much improved, but still acts up from time to time. Qwest sent a repairman out yesterday, who checked everything thoroughly but couldn't find the problem, as of course everything was fine while he was here... One theory is that it might be the phone interacting badly with the modem; guess I'll pick up a new one by and by and see if it helps...

Back to work now!

Still here...

I was offline most of the past week due to modem problems. The good news is that I got quite a bit of writing done - about a chapter and a half, and still going. The story's moving much better now since I got past the problems of integrating the historical bits around Tara...

The garden's doing well, too--got to get some more pictures up soon. A lot of the corn and beans are up now - I'll do a little fill in planting tomorrow. And the roses have started blooming.

Back to work...
