Time does zip. Everytime I blink, five years slides by. It just shows how important it is to live in the moment. I try to never, ever say, oh I wish it was the weekend, or summer, or whatever. Hope it is cooling off for you. We have had a lovely week - I could even wear jeans, which was a nice switch. Terra was happy she didn't have to rest under trees on our walks!

You've done an amazing job! And, it's not time to go back to work yet is it??? Time is truly zipping along this year way too fast! All the best with all your writing and other endeavors! I do enjoy your blog. Wow, your garden grew like magic! You’ve done an amazing job!

Put in a few little trees and bushes, and you are set to go! I just have to cut back on the blog thing. It is so much fun, reading and writing, but it does eat up a lot of time. I really have to weed the garden today, too. My mom and sister are visiting this weekend, and their gardens..........!!!!! Terra says thanks for the compliment.

But I can see where keeping up that glorious garden would take rather awhile! It's a stunner -- and it gives me inspiration for my scrubby little yard. A tree and a half fell during a June storm, soon to be removed (I waited; it wasn't on the house and the tree-cutters were gouging!). It will leave a spot that may well make a lovely shade garden! Seeing your before and after really does encourage me! (And your pup is a dear!) Oh, please don’t leave us too long! But I can see where keeping up that glorious garden would take rather awhile!

Summers off are so wonderful, but year around not "working" would be fabulous - I hope you enjoy. I am looking forward to the new position. I may be mentoring an intern in my old school, so that would be fun - see all my buddies. No news yet from agent.. I will certainly shout about it if there is good news (and mention it in passing if it is bad news!). I inherited the green thumb from my mother. She is a gardening maniac, as is my sister. Oh!! You must email your address to me, so I can have Scott send you Far Word - Waterkeep. You were the lucky winner! qugrainne@yahoo.com I will plan on writing at least weekly. I am addicted to having an immediate audience, and being able to read what other people are writing/doing in their creative lives. Blogging is so much fun! Thanks for the cheers. Hi Becca, lucky you!

They are wonderful, too. And cheering for you on the three chapters-and-agent quest. Even if you cannot blog as often, keep us going with dog and garden pictures! They are wonderful, too.

I'm so envious - I have no green thumb at all :) For the first time in a long while, I don't have a school position to return to, so autumn heralds no changes in my schedule. But I'm well aware of the upheaval that begins with the ringing of the school bell. Keep us posted when you can on the progress of your new position. And goodness, congratulations about the agent query! I'll keep all good thoughts for you on that score! Can't wait for the Sandra Balzo interview :) Your garden is delightful!

Yes - we will have to trade news about the learning curve in our new positions! Teachers of special education are hard to come by, here, so I hope I can help 'my' interns decide to stay in their positions. Thanks, Pete. Summer writing has been good, the weeds have taken over the garden. Oh well. I appreciate all the positive thoughts for my chapters out with the agent. I feel good about it, so...... we shall see. Any good news will certainly be highlighted here!! Hi Litlove, thanks for the good luck wishes. Yes – we will have to trade news about the learning curve in our new positions!

I do hope you'll blog about it a little bit as you know I'm in the same boat and keen to find out how you get on. And fingers crossed of course for the agent!
