from the kitchen door

---------------------

We took Highway 94 so we could enjoy the spectacular views of autumn foliage on this beautiful sunny day.  This little pond is visible from the highway and is a few miles east of Ackerman Lake.

I apologize for the recent spate of quotes from Jack Kerouac.  I recently finished On the Road and have started Desolation Angels.  I read On the Road when I was in high school, but now, so many years later (well, not that many) it is almost entirely NEW to me!  You'll have to tolerate a few more Kerouac quotes while I dawdle through Desolation Angels.

I've been researching a new novel for the past month or so and hope to get started on that soon.  We have one more week of guests and then we go into hibernation until the opening of the firearm deer season.

"Hey Jane!" he yelled gleefully. "I was just telling Dean and Sal about my aunt in the Casbah!"

"I heard you," she said across the lovely warm Gulf morning from the kitchen door.

- From Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"
