Just a placeholder, really

while I try to figure out why I have less time for writing now that I have no children here at home.

The picture above is our remaining Japanese red maple, in all of her glory. Alas, they are not long lived trees and this one is beginning to show the ravages of age. But in the meantime, isn't she beautiful? The suggestive rock formation in the foreground is marking the direction north on the outer edge of the circle.

Hi Lavanah,

That tree is beautiful. It's good to be reminded to stop and notice spectacular sights in nature.

I don't have kids and I know I struggle to find time to write, too. Someone I know said that when you have kids your life is so busy that you have to manage your time better and leave room for the things you really want to do. But I have to say I wonder about those authors with young children at home. They must all have nannies! Doubtful...

Be well,

Jennifer
