Ah, I love summer! It's been a long time since I've posted any blog posts -- and in that time we've watched many episodes of Bones, froze many packages of strawberries, and drove down to Santa Fe and back. Yep.

I'll tell you one thing, Santa Fe made me appreciate the color green much more then usual. I'm glad to be back home, where our yard is covered in green grass and tall strawberry bushes and raspberries waiting to bear. Actually, the raspberries couldn't wait much longer to start flowering and producing -- because today we harvested the first quarter pound of raspberries from the front yard. They were supposed to be June bearers, but last year they didn't produce much. I guess it's because we didn't water them enough, because now they are looking very healthy and are covered in blooms and small, unripe berries. I guess it was the exceptionally wet spring this year that made them bear so early. Even the yellow raspberries have started to produce.

Summer is so wonderful, is it not?

On the writing front, I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but I'm starting to get a small idea for a plotline and world in my head for a book about horses. Hey, they may not fight or hunt, they may be scared by a mere leaf rustling or a garbage truck's growls and rumbles, and it may be impossible to write an interesting book about them. But you know what? I take that as a challenge. Unless it's really impossible. Then I just give up. But not after I've tried everything. Yes. I don't give up that easily. No, sir. Nope.

Not much else has happened lately. I don't know what's happening as far as meat rabbits and such, but I do want to raise them. Hopefully someday that dream'll come true. Until then, I'll just wait and make plans for cages and such. I'm beginning to wonder if raising meat rabbits is really a good idea.

*sigh*

Hmmm... well, I suppose that's all. I might try and write another chapter or two of The Other Side of Shrae... but I'm a bit busy and not very motivated at the moment. We'll see.
