another season

FAKE: I made some tiny revisions to the bit of "Not as Dumb" chapter 5 I posted, and I reckon I'll manage a couple new scenes by April 7, which is the deadline for posting under the Crack the WiP umbrella. Realistically, I doubt I'll be done by then -- work and workshops aside, there's old canon to review, new canon and "behind the scenes" bonuses that I may or may not look at (much less incorporate), and assorted notes. I dipped a bit into all three today. It's all progress, even if I don't finish baking it all until July. That's more hopeful than I felt about it a year ago.

England Series/Green Men/Dark Is Rising: I've added a handful of drabbles to "Difficult" since Chocobox. Mrs da Silva feeds soup to Archie, Sam Caldwell invites Will Stanton to explain himself over drinks, and more.

Gardening: one of the local nurseries posted an IG story today, encouraging the setting out of perennials and sowing of leafy greens. As documented in the home journal, I am feeling both battered and accomplished after today's hour-ish of yardwork. Inside, we are enjoying a white rose in full bloom and assorted pink, purple, and orange Christmas/Easter cacti flowers.
