Colorado Here I come

It's that time of year again. It's time to go to Colorado, cool sweet mountain air. Bears, chipmunks and squirrels coming to visit, gossiping with friends, writing, hiking (more or less) wine, books, and shopping. Did I mention wine?

Renewal is an important part of the writing process, of any creative process-poetry, painting, music, making something from nothing. For me, being at the cabin with my writer friends does it. I focus more clearly and usually make a lot of progress both writing and relaxing while I'm there.

And it never hurts to sit ouside, in the middle of the trees and watch for fairies. Of course, at the cabin, you can't afford not to watch for bears also.

Watched the newest episode of True Blood. Really like the Circe character and Sookie met her cousin. Always interesting seeing Sookie get into trouble.

I'm jealous. That said, I'm glad you're getting away. You so deserve a break!

Haven't watched the new True Blood. Maybe tomorrow night...tonight's the night I take mom out.

Have a wonderful trip!
Hugs,
Sarah/sara
