Update #3 - October 2024

 No writing in the last week either, but our October Rocky Mountain Retreat is this weekend, and after that I can get back to Gwernin and company <grin>. The last month has been busy, busy, busy, but I'll have pretty much free time to write until mid December, and I'm looking forward to it.

Autumn is definitely here, and we are approaching Winter's doorstep. Leaves are turning gold and falling, especially on the ash trees. I may have the first frost tomorrow night, so the geraniums and rosemarys will go back in the garage today. Some of the morning glorys may survive the weekend, but I wouldn't bet on it. Garden cleanup will probably start soon.

Update #2 - October 2024

 Again, no writing progress, sigh. Some work on my presentation for the October Retreat, and am beginning to panic on that front. When it's over, however, I expect to get back to Gwernin and company. At this rate I might publish the book by Samhain next year...

On the other hand, we're having pleasant autumn weather - mild to warm days, cool to cold nights. No frost yet, and I hope it doesn't arrive over the retreat weekend, as I don't want to bring the geraniums in before I have to - they are happy in the cold frame, and two of them are blooming.

Update #1 - October 2024

 Another week with no writing progress. I might get going again around Samhain, sigh. Finished the winter issue for OL, and started gathering material for the spring issue. Two more issues to go...

The weather has been nice, although last night's low was 39 F. Morning glories are nervous...
