There isn’t really a lot to report on lately. I usually have a few errands during the week. They don’t amount to much but get me out for some fresh air and human contact.

I take my walks but usually those are in the dark now. Heard the screech owls calling the other morning. They used to line up on my fence and make their strange noises, but left my area a couple years ago. I assume some old trees fell or were removed and disrupted where they hang out. Nice to know they’re still around.

I watched the lunar eclipse and that was pretty cool. My area had some high clouds to I had to be patient for it to peek out. I snapped a photo, but an iPhone gets confused about bright spot on a black background. My old 35mm camera could have done it, but my photos aren’t worth sharing. Even got a look at a pretty shooting star while I was out.

I managed a couple of writing days so I can at least claim some minor progress on that front.​

Frankie got another new toy. She is the one who eats everything if we don’t watch her, but there are a whole sequence of woven toys that are great for her. This one is made from flat nylon straps and is woven to look like a carrot. She is a very happy girl this week, and it is safe for her.​

I got my next Story Empire post scheduled for September. It is probably better suited to October because it is about writing horror. That was the idea I had so I did it anyway.​

That’s about it from Idaho. Just ticking along and doing whatever appeals to me in the moment.
