 The weather is getting frightful up here.  Starting to turn colder which means that I’ll be writing more often now that I can’t get outside comfortably much longer.  I’ll be posting a batch of fall colors on leelanauphotography.com in a few days.  If the weather is nice this weekend, I am going hiking with my dog and my camera.  Hopefully to bring back some choice pictures of my favorite time of year up here.  Stay tuned.

 I’m still a non-smoker!!  YEH.  It’s been 4 full days now since I’ve smoked.  I am using the patch to help me quit.  Even though the ‘success’ rate is less than 10% by users of the patch, it seems to help me pretty well.  My biggest problem is finding things to do when I would normally just go have a cigarette.  Normally, I’d have chosen to just go smoke rather than spend this much time writing a blog entry!  I need to get into an exercise routine and kick this expensive habit for good.  I can’t afford to smoke anymore….and not just monetarily.

Helpfully I’ll have a little more to say tomorrow.
