Bounding

Only a few moments today; waiting for the last load of laundry to be finished in the dryer, then I'll be heading out to let "the boys" (a.k.a. the horses) graze on the front lawn.  I had them out on Friday afternoon and was astounded by the amount of crickets and toads bounding around in the lawn.  Add the great blue heron to the mix and we've got a true working model of the food chain happening at the front of our property.

Was quite pleased with myself today - watching more of Sos Mi Vida (without English subtitles) and actually understood enough to get a joke they were telling about being a "clepto" and Winona Ryder.  I guess that 2 years of Spanish I had 30-odd years ago is finally coming back!

Started re-reading Lion's Kin today in preparation to pick up writing the 3rd novel in the series, Tiger's Kin.  Took awhile to replace my laptop and get MS Office installed on the new version but all is going according to plan and I will hopefully be able to start work on the novel by next weekend. 

Of course, next weekend they are also doing some special events to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of the Thames and we will be heading towards Moraviantown to see the site of the battle and rub elbows with Tecumseh's ghost.  Quite excited about that!
