Visitors parked across the way. The lavender cast in this color is missing. I don't know when it arrived or left but I must have looked at it a hundred times. Somehow wanting it to fly away like so much vapor. I swear I had a pair of Easter shoes that were the same color. Anyway....
But I've been busy shoveling around words and sentences. It's thirsty work. And damn little to show for it at this point. This book could get out of hand page-count-wise very easily.
How to add a new adventure only retelling necessary details from the first three books? The main characters went through a lot of changes in a short time. From strangers to married in only five months. That's a lot of heat. Now, how to keep that pace without getting carried away.
Fuck if I know how to do that. (out loud!)
Dee's to-do list is enough to send me back to bed.
The only thing I promise today is to buy and distribute more birdseed. Throw in some cheap peanuts and raisins. Winter is going to be long and hard for the feathered folk. I don't have a feeder. Just throw stuff on the ground up under the crape myrtles away from the cat crew. That bare spot on the ground in the picture sees a lot of action. If it gets above freezing, I'll put fresh water in the big clay dish.
At this moment a gang of bluejays is warring with the squirrels. Doves patrolling. In a while, they will leave and the littles will take over shuffling the leaves around to get at what the big greedy ones missed. Sparrows, wrens, chickadees. Midday I may see bluebirds and cardinals fussing with one another.
This week I will vacuum upstairs and clear off the work table. Laundry with clean sheets will happen along the way. Maybe.

Last week I made little lists (Nothing like Dee's) of things I had to get done and procrastinate about...paperwork stuff. I was pleased that doing so actually helped me. But this weekend and today - basically nothing. ha.
Good luck with your writing and doing.
The birds will sing Hosanna tomorrow. Seed, oatmeal, and raisins!
