A Day of Preparations

Today will be just a half day of work. This afternoon will be about cooking and preparing.

My new essay for Lion Brand is due on Monday. I was sure that it would be done by today. Yesterday, it almost seemed finished. But it's not. There's still some burnishing left to do.

The leaves are turning here. And before I faced the whirl and swirl of all I must do this morning, I stopped to watch glorious brightness of yellow leaves fluttering in the wind.

Enjoy the day.

I write and illustrate stories for children and adults. My stories are about family, friendship, knitting, and community. They chronicle the large and small victories and defeats of everyday life.
