Book IV continues to behave like a healthy young book that wants to be written.\u00a0 I didn’t work on it Saturday and it niggled at me.\u00a0 Came home from church Sunday and it was doing worse than niggling.\u00a0\u00a0 So Sunday ended with 1893 words before I could make it let go so I could sleep, and Monday produced 2011, despite my spending a couple of hours in the garden helping Richard put up the support for the peas (T-posts, the pipe from the top of the chainlink fence we’d taken down, and chicken wire.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Today was a slow start, but ended 2332 words to the good.\u00a0 So the week’s off to a good start, 6236 words already.<\/p>\n
I got outside for a bit again, and saw the first of our spring flowers (it’s not spring, but the bush honeysuckle blooms in the winter, tiny white lemony-smelling flowers.\u00a0 Before the flowers opened, earlier today, I saw one honeybee scout examining the onion sets in the garden…no luck yet.\u00a0 Henbit is getting ready to put out its little purple flowers, and the bur clover has decided to come up between the raised beds.\u00a0 All it took was some rain and a couple of days with some sun to them.\u00a0\u00a0 Texas plants are opportunists.<\/p>\n
I’m well into Chapter Four of Book IV, and hope to be through the rest of it and Chapter Five by week’s end, though I have choir practice tomorrow and jury duty Thursday.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But the feel of it…it’s going to be quite a ride, this book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
