I can tell we are back home because of the wind. Our time away from home was a time that was basically without wind. When we left home more than a week ago, we left the wide open spaces of the prairies for woodlands, forests, meadows, and occasional rain showers. Our home on the prairies continued to experience drought and wind. I have to admit, it gets tiring.
I am not sure when I can get out for an enjoyable long hike in the hills, as it is dependent upon the wind. It is impossible to enjoy hiking in the hills with strong winds buffeting blowing bits and pieces of nature onto one’s body. As a result, I am left with sheltered corners in my yard, or other sheltered areas when outdoors.
A return to home is also a return to writing, and that includes posting here. Over the next while I hope to spend a lot of time producing my first audiobook. The hardest part is beginning, an act that involves choosing which book to start the process. I am torn between a stand-alone novel and the Pilgrim series. If all goes well, I will eventually turn all of the books into audiobooks. Before I do anything, I need to go and make myself a mug of tea.
