…there you are.

And here I am! I officially “arrived” in my new town last Saturday night, and have spent the last few days doing… I’m not sure what. Oh, well, on Monday I wrote a blog post for the Rockville 8… on Tuesday I did some cleaning, shopping and cooking… Wednesday my husband and I went out driving and looking at the pretty sights… and today I’ve gotten a little writing in. So there, that’s been my exciting week.

I have to say, it feels bloody weird not to have a job to get up and go to every morning. The idea of working from home, writing full time, is  enticing but scary. It will involve that thing that I so sorely lack: discipline. (The very word makes me shudder!) But hopefully I will rise to the challenge, and take advantage of this opportunity. I know it’s a blessing to have this chance to really make a “go” of my writing, and I’m going to try not to waste it. The internet here can be a little spotty, but that’s probably a blessing too, as it helps keeps me off of social media (and away from Netflix)!

It’s been raining here for the past few days, so I haven’t had much of a chance to take pictures. But I did get in a few good shots, so I’ll share them with you now. Surrounded by so much beauty, I’m going to have to up my photo-taking game!

Stony Creek, a tributary of the Shenandoah River, which runs behind the apartment building where I’m staying.

Beautiful local barn.

Lovely Main Street on Sunday morning.

Edinburg Gap, massive and misty in the late-morning sunshine.
