*double whew*

And I learned that not only is a longer Incident OK, but I have more time than I thought to turn it in. Which is great because we're down to the the pretty complex climax, and errors here could kill the story.

It also gives me the chance to write the J5 scene that fell into my head this morning. It's out of sequence, dammit, but I think I'll write it anyway. It makes sense for a scene like that to be there.

Too much story for my brain...

Saturday

Outdoor work today. Planted the rhododendron, finally. I wound up taking the stones leftover from last year's planter construction and using them to trim the area. The stones weigh over 20 pounds each, so the wheelbarrow got a workout. So did my shoulders.

I also planted an hibiscus, a lovely tree-like thing with vermilion blooms. I fear it may not last the winter, but we'll see. I have it in a sheltered place.

Hummingbirds have also been spotted, so I put out some nectar feeders.

Yesterday, I spread the organic lawn fertilizer in the backyard. It's a corn gluten product that is used in some animal feeds, so it's, well, safe to use around the dogs. A strong smell, like Ovaltine. It rained last night, so it's almost all dissolved/absorbed. It will be interesting to see how this stuff works.
