I've been swamped with non-writing stuff to do, but I've also been down-in-the-dumps because of the yucky weather.  Usually I'm a fan of autum, but not this year.  It's been cold and rainy and yucky.  We've had two nice days in the last month and that's it. 

All the rain makes it really hard to do simple things like rake the leaves, and the cold make it not only wet but miserable to work outside.  Not fun anyway I look at it.

I'm hoping that it clears up in the next few days so I can get the boys out to work on the leaves.  We'll see, I guess.
