Not having access to my laptop is not helping my already waning enthusiasm for NaBloPoMo.  Although, I did get quite a bit more done today, seeing as how distractions didn't come quite as easily.

Caitlin needed a model for part of her photography project, and the neighbor's tree is just so perfect right now.

And then I spent the afternoon baking bread and began working my way through that 30 pound pile of apples.  The crockpot is simmering away with cider butter, while juice strains overnight to make jelly.  I'm hoping to turn the rest into sauce or preserves, before I drive down to Kentucky Friday morning.

The sky was gorgeous tonight, as I stood by the kitchen window, peeling and chopping.  I kept rushing out the back door to capture the clouds and light.

I'm making my escape, for a few days, need to clear my head.  I baked a loaf of banana bread on Saturday and left out 1.5 cups of sugar. It took an entire day of pecking at that disgustingly bland loaf to figure out that I'd forgotten the second main ingredient.  Trivial as it may be, I never forget things like that, and it's a sure sign that I need change.  I need to get out of this house, find something to do, get my life back.
