Pumpkins . . . and Other Necessary Distractions

I've been busy editing.

A lot.

I have one novel and two novellas needing my attention this month, and the words started to blur on the page from the amount of screen time I've logged.

So a trip to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden happened yesterday.

Since it's October, they had the traditional Autumn pumpkin displays, which I love.

Texas being Texas, flowers still showed their color.

And, Texas being Texas, the only trees with a color change so far this season are the Japanese Maples.

The four hours I spent touring the gardens did more than clear my editing-filled head. They refocused my sights on beauty and color and life.

And today, the editing is clearer too.
