Hazy Day in Boulder County

This morning, the hot air balloons we see almost every morning, looked ghostly even while close to our road. The mountains were also barely visible, all because of smoke from a fire burning in Alberta, Canada. This is so obvious to me but I'll point out that what we do to the environment affects others all over the world.

The kids enjoyed watching one hot air balloon land at the edge of Longmont this morning. E now believes me when I say there are people riding in the basket. She can be pretty skeptical for a four-year-old. Another balloon was very close to the treetops in the neighborhood across the highway. The newspaper reports that it landed safely in an elementary school playground.

The 4th of July is almost upon us. Should be a toasty weekend. I plan to finish learning Scrivener, which is software that helps disorganized writers like me become organized. At least that's the dream. I also want to do some writing, but that's what I tell myself every day.

The Workweek Begins

It was a productive three-day weekend, with a little bit of fun thrown in, but not enough. Each day, the weather was nice in the morning, but clouded up and rained later in the day. We like the moisture and being able to delay the annual ritual of turning on the sprinklers. (that never work well anyway) Our bathroom looked like a grey prison cell purchased on eBay then outfitted with bathroom fixtures. Steve painted it over the weekend. I'm sure that isn't how he wanted to spend his time but the results were worth it.

I am now the owner of the writing software Scrivener. I am doing my best with the tutorial but it's not going smoothly.  Scrivener should be able to help me with organizing my novel. I lose a lot of good stuff as I slog along the writer's path. I need every bit of good writing I can generate. I would like to meet someone who is currently using Scrivener.

It's time to get in the car to begin my week. Grandchildren await my arrival. Wish me luck with the software.
