Update #2 - November 2025

 The last week has been mostly taken up with setting up the new computer, and I still have more work to do on it. At least I got it to the point where I could use it for last night's Zoom language class. Once that's done, I can concentrate on writing again.

Gardening continues in the winter cleanup phase. I'll be doing some yard work today, raking leaves and trimming a couple of elms. After a cold weekend, we've been having a stretch of mild weather with little or no frost, but the cold weather will be back next week. What I keep asking the weather gods for is some rain.
