Smells of the season
Nov. 18th, 2009 09:54 pmToday it smells like this:

Neuhaus an der Pegnitz
This after a week and a half in the 70s. But the neighbors' wood stoves are going and the sky is this color and it's cold (wellll--cold enough to feel a chill as you run from the house to the car--the kids can't understand why we want them to take their coats to school, especially the oldest. They have no recess in 6th grade, so he is literally not outside at all.)
I woke up with great thoughts about revising this ms that needs help. Like, I could almost taste the solution. But then I spent the entire day running errands (not once, but TWICE to the next town over to the scout store--and I don't even have a scout responsibility! I just hope the parties on both ends understand the lists I'm ferrying back and forth...). PMB is being very cute (and knowing it), climbing, dancing, showing his knowledge of body parts like "button" (which involves tickling his belly button), and standing on the pot he swiped from the cupboard and applauding himself. I wonder...is there a hidden battery compartment somewhere? Will he ever run down? Is there an off button? Better yet, can I get me some of those batteries that never run out??
