NaNoWriMo has completely taken up what very limited free time I have.  I’m at 13,000 words now, so I’m keeping up, though just barely.  But the other writing projects have suffered, including the blog.  I’m working on striking a balance, but I admit, I’m excited about the 13,000 words I’ve got.  They’re starting to look suspiciously like a real novel, and I like it.  But no worries.  I haven’t disappeared.  And I will post more frequently.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share some pictures I took during our morning walk.  The first picture was taken a few days ago, and the second one was taken today.  This is a prime example of what California weather can be like.  The sun always prevails.

But it was absolutely wonderful walking in the mist.  For once, it was quiet.  Somehow, the fog muffles everything.  It’s like walking around incognito.  I love it.  The Pups seemed to love it too.  She poked her nose out of the stroller and kept breathing in deeply, letting the wet soak her face.  By the time we got home, we were both pink-nosed and renewed.
