ksmithPhone call this morning with writer friend helped me see something with this book that has been staring me in the face. In truth, it's something that had been bothering me for the past few books. Now, it's pretty much settled, and I like it, and it helps me see the whole damned business in a new light. It was all pretty much there, but like the picture of the chalice that alters into two profiles, it was all in how I looked at it. Another case of thinking brain going astray as the backbrain stuck with the story as it needed to be. I wish my backbrain could handle financial planning.
Spent part of the morning mowing the backyard FOR THE LAST TIME I SWEAR. Picked up leaves. Considered what I will do with one shaded corner. Dad had dug it up for a garden years ago, but never followed through. Now it's mostly a place where the dogs bury stuff. Since the dogs will get in there unless I fence it off, I need to do something that isn't all that complicated and won't be ruined by the occasional hole. I'll probably just plow up the ground to get rid of weeds, then plant a few sun/shade shrubs and cover the bare stretches with mulch. I know I will occasionally find myself filling in holes and swearing, but I do that anyway.
