Begin the hours of this day slow

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Erin

Robert Frost’s words pretty much describe the way this month has been going for me. The poem “October” in full: O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; To-morrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste … Continue reading →

Words!

Posted on October 11, 2017 by Erin

Not a lot of words — only 116 — but given the trouble I’ve had focusing, I’ll take it. Picture today didn’t come out very well. The Inktober prompt was “run,” but I didn’t really have any good photos for … Continue reading →

Task lists

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Erin

Fall shares one of the drawbacks of spring: pollen. This is why I like the first hard frost of the year; it kills plants so they’ll stop trying to kill me. (My son tells me neither the plants nor Pennsylvania are … Continue reading →

Not so quiet day

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Erin

I knew today wasn’t going to be hugely productive. Rainy day with the kids home? Right. No words, and currently lots of doubts about participating in NaNoWriMo next month, but I decided not to fret about that. So I took … Continue reading →

A not-so-shy sky

Posted on October 7, 2017 by Erin

So I was really happy to find the perfect photo from our trip this summer for the Inktober prompt of “sky.” We were traveling west across Nebraska, the clouds were all kinds of threatening, and there were tornado warnings both … Continue reading →

Not ready for the weekend 

Posted on October 6, 2017 by Erin

How can one not be ready for the weekend? Quite simply, still too many things on my to-do list for the week still untouched. On the other hand, the weekend does mean sleeping in — and it’s a three-day weekend, … Continue reading →

Long morning 

Posted on October 5, 2017 by Erin

Today had school drama. Slow motion, check Twitter to see if there were updates, then try to keep working drama. By midmorning, everything was resolved, people had done their jobs, and that was that until after school when I heard … Continue reading →

All wet

Posted on October 4, 2017 by Erin

No, the weather is dry and lovely. The plumbing backing up into the garage — that was wet. Thank goodness for reliable plumbers, but what with making sure the girl had her picture day form and her homework and her … Continue reading →

Raisin tart?

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Erin

Today’s Inktober prompt was “poison,” so I did some tree frogs (poison dart frogs?) from the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin. No color this year, unlike my pretty blue one from last year. (Post title comes from a line … Continue reading →
