NUMBER CRUNCHING

It's 4,465… 4,466… 4,467… 4,468 words!

Even though I’m not allowed to blog about TMP (the mystery project) or show you any of the amazing photographs, I’m happy to announce that as of this morning the First Section of the book is done.

The word count for Part I text is 4,468 – with captions for the 72 photos averaging 25 words per captions this will put the count over 6,000 words for this section. Whew! Now, only two to go!

After posting the photos of California gardens, several folks from The Golden State, as well as The Sunshine State, and The Empire State, asked me to post a peek of Virginia’s fall foliage.
Since I my fingers needed a break from typing, I ran out and snapped a few photos of local color. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

*** BLOG DU JOUR ***

I was looking for a new idea for decorating or crafting with leaves and came across Heather Donohue’s irresistible Pinecone Poultry. Since Thanksgiving is only days away, I thought you might want to make some, too. Check out www.heatherdonohue.wordpress.com

Ahhh, what gorgeous fall photos you've got there. It's awe-inspiring every single year. I tend to forget with each season just how beautiful fall can be.

Hurray for you on the book project!

What a pretty place to take a break. Our leaves didn't do as well this year, yellow, then crunchy brown and then gone. No show this fall, because of a big early freeze in the spring. Its nice to see some full color on yours!
