Dancing Around the Four Sides

The temperatures, that is. High 80s yesterday, mid-50s today, with a strong wind out of the west-northwest that's scoured the sky clean. Lots of birds at the water dish yesterday -- chickadees, house finches, big blue jays, tufted titmice. The latter were particularly funny, as they would perch on the long bamboo stick that overhangs the dish, and then seemingly allow themselves to fall forward, righting themselves to land on the edge of the dish to drink. They really are such delightful little guys.

Reading Richard Powers' The Overstory. Or should probably say devouring; have been up until 2:30 the last two nights, unable to put it down. Ugh so tired but it is so good.

I seem to be writing a Housefic. And by writing, I mean it has a title, a beginning, a middle, and an end, all in a first draft. It is a prequel of sorts to the Riververse.

Watching some of the Stanley Cup playoffs; ordered a Winnipeg Jets baseball cap last night. :D

... ha, one of the deck chairs just blew over outside, and Layla was all OMG MOM WHAT WAS THAT NOISE???
