A weekend at home with no plans--heaven! But I should get started on doing the things I hope to get done. First on the agenda, a walk to get the blood pumping. Next, cleaning the house. Then I get to tackle the table full of paper-stuff that I have torn from magazines and printed from the web, in addition to ideas and notes and sketches. I have binders--just need to look it over and figure out what the best way to organize is! Meanwhile, there are blogs to visit.
