This, That, and The Other

This evening I started working on the front porch. Fall absolutely can not come without my porch swing, so today I bought the stuff I needed to hang it. I also found some cute lanterns to hang all around the porch. There are 5 of them, in an aged copper finish. They hang just above the porch railing at close enough to evenly spaced intervals from small sections of a pretty decorative-type chain. The corner of the porch now holds my four foot long set of wind chimes. Naturally, we haven't had a hint of a breeze yet, but I hold out hope for one in the night.

I've got a novel idea. A good one I think. I have title, a summary, character outlines, goal, motivation and conflict worked out and 738 words of chapter one thanks to today's visit to the library. I think that's pretty good considering 738 is exactly the number of times the kids interrupted me to help them find a book. Don't they teach them how to use a library in school?

And from Jake...did you know that an all-tile bathroom makes farts sound even louder?
Who'da thunk it?
