Seasons Changing

The seasons are definitely changing. I needed a jacket this morning. Of course, it is November 2. This morning I needed a jacket. This afternoon I picked four ripe tomatoes. That pretty much doubled my garden yield for the year, I’m sorry to say.

I took them over to Bob and Ruth. I didn’t have anything on hand worthy of enjoying them with and it was the least I could do considering that they’ve been taking care of my lawn all year long. I don’t know what I ever did to deserve them as neighbors, but I’m thankful. They’re great.

Yesterday at the 140 Character Conference I completed the last big project I had hanging over me for a couple of weeks. I have a few days now to just focus on the tasks at hand, but nothing is critical. So, it’s time to put out some feelers for other freelance jobs, and tidy up a few little things that are hanging out there undone, and get myself organized.

This coming weekend we have an event at the Cosmosphere so I’ll be working. Buz Carpenter, who flew the SR-71 Blackbird that’s in our lobby, will be here to speak. He was here last year and was very popular so he’s coming back again. Should be good. He and his wife are really pleasant people. It will be good to see them again. He’s speaking at 1 and 3 on Saturday, for free, and signing autographs afterwards, so I expect we’ll have good crowds.

I’m really having the urge to work on the novel again, but that’s not writing that will pay me right away, so I’m just churning thoughts away in my brain. When I do get a chance to write maybe the remaining bits will just pour out of me with little effort. Wouldn’t that be great?

I spent part of the morning with a gentleman I met at the conference yesterday, giving him a tour. I do love showing off the musuem. I’m very excited the 140conf is coming back to Hutchinson next year. Quite amazing. We have work to do before then.

This afternoon I had to take some materials to Wichita to the school system. It was a beautiful afternoon and kind of nice to let my brain be in neutral while I drove. Usually I have a long list of things to accomplish when I go over so it was nice to have a simpler agenda.

A few projects I’ve wanted to happen for 3-4 years seem like they may come to fruition soon. That would be wonderful. I can only hope it works out..
