Fragment Friday - Five for the 4th

It's the 4th! Run as fast as you can to do everything, parade, picnic, party, fireworks...

What's the 4th without a little fisticuffs with your dad?

Parades are awesome!

Horseshoes get cutthroat when the grandkids play.

The promise of fireworks is almost as good as the fireworks.

1. I've decided to do something stupid for November. I'm going to do the Poem A Day Challenge, AND tackle NanoWriMo. Yes, I'm possessed. I have a detailed chapter by chapter outline for a new novel for at least 20 chapters. I thought why not attempt to flesh it out at 1667 words a day and see what happens? Banzai!

2.  How much candy did you have left over from Halloween? We were down to a few packs of Whoppers when the kids stopped coming. Good thing I like Whoppers. 

3.  How many languages do you speak? Is there a language you wish you spoke/read? Is it possible to teach an old dog a new language?

4.  The thrummed mitts are almost complete. I'm trying to decide what to knit next. More mittens, socks, hats or fingerless gloves? A scarf or cowl? Maybe I'll just spin and stockpile yarn through the winter. Everyone does that, right?

5. The Corgis really enjoyed Halloween. They thought all those kids were coming to see them! They kept watch and let us know by a sudden cavalcade of barking that little humans were coming up the driveway.

Fragment Friday

1.       The Corgis have been lying low this summer. Too hot for them to do much in the way of hiking. We play  bouncy ball in the evening until Max decides he’s tired. Merlin never gets tired- or won’t admit it. 

2.       I was thinking I’d like a career change. Nothing as abrupt as a move to circus clown, but something different than I have been doing for the past 12 years. It likely won’t happen, but good to think about.

3.       I’ve decided I need a fish tank and fish. Goldfish and bettas to be precise. Although last time I did this one goldfish grew big enough to eat a betta. Hmm.

4.       Looking for suggestions for things to write poems about. Themes if you will. 

5.       Planning a trip to go visit my Anonymous brother. I always fear the worst when he slacks off on sarcastic commentary. Maybe an in-person visit will goad him a bit.
