The Sojourn
By "headway," I mean I have just sat down to start working on it.

The Woods
I learned about squirrel hunting from 2 4th graders this week. We were going to read a short book about the Appalachian Trail so as a pre-read, we wrote about "In the Woods." Both kiddos wrote about squirrel hunting. They've killed quite a few squirrels in their day.
Curious, I asked, "Isn't it hard to shoot them? They're so small and fast?"
"No, you just get 'em as they're eating on the ground," a Friendly Fourthie replied. "Skinning them is the hard part."

The Book
Phew. I've been thinking I'm heading toward aliteracy lately, but this giftie from SeattleKin has restored my confidence. I love Nick Hornby. His characters communicate annoyance with the world really well.I'm working on the NCTE talk. It's slow going as always, but it's warm and cozy here on the blue couch and I'm having a go.
Husbandman nearly forgot about the yearly tradition of making me a pumpkin pie for my birthday. But once I reminded him he headed right out to the shop to get the ingredients and he's making it right now. That was a close one. "How could you forget about this tradition?" I asked him, but he simply said, "I don't know. Maybe it's because of my knee problems." He truly has been having knee problems, but I'm not sure that would really make a person forget about an important tradition. I'm going to cut him some slack, especially since he's almost putting the pie in the oven right now. Yes!
