Tenacity

Ever notice the tenacity of dandelions? They spread and populate and don't mind being cut down or poisoned. It takes some serious attention to take care of just a few dandelions.

Or so I hear. I rather like the little yellow flowers. I like the way they cover fields and yards, in spite of efforts to stop them. I think they're pretty. And they my favorite symbol of tenacity.

Doesn't matter what one does to a dandelion, it'll be there. (Ha Ha!)

That's my kind of flower.

So, even though my computer randomly shuts down (without even leaving a CLUE in the event log!), I managed to get the novel climax rewritten. I've managed to get on top of a few things, too.

And I'm hanging in there.

Hubby, on the other hand, is hiding. He says he knows better than to mess with a porcupine.
