Howdy,
Well, if you read my post on the first day of March, this is not NaNoWriMo Hawes-o 2.0.
No, the month of March has not played out as a return to Baseball Boys fiction for a run with those characters in this season of baseball budding around us. March 1st was a To Be Continued … edition, one that will now have some time between submissions. I don’t know if it will be next month, but I do hope to do another month of fiction on the blog soon.
I feel like I’m digging myself out of having not written and spinning for traction with the topic switch, but I should find momentum and get back to the writing and not talking about the backdrop of it. I did, however, want to at least acknowledge that I’d said this month would be fiction — drafting and sharing — but I now plan to hold that off on this blog for the start of a full month: seeking to capture the energy of pushing for 30 days or so. See what comes up, where the story goes …
As far as today, the weather’s been crazy. Late last week (pretty sure that’s when it was) we had a day hit 85 degrees. (Spring training weather!) The bursting blossoms fluffed out amazingly, brilliantly — some beautiful, full trees around. Then two days ago an insane thunderstorm with pouring rain flooded us out in minutes.
(Check out the brief videos below for a look at the water rush.)
The blooming blossoms took a big hit. In the photograph and videos, you can see so many floating in the puddles, swirling down the drain.
Also taking a hit? Last week’s climbing temperatures. Tomorrow’s high is 57. With rain again.
Hang on, blossoms.
