Description There's a time between the seasons, and in many parts of life, where all you can do is wait. We can wait because we want to, to bide time, or wait anxiously for something new. It applies to many of the things we do, even if we don't realize it. Sometimes, we should just sit back and enjoy it.

Here my father, Ricky Bevan, waits at the barn on the old recovered church pew. The pottery shop across the aisle is open and he's just enjoying the overcast autumn winds. Hugo the barn cat takes advantage of his open lap. As hobby farmers there is a lot to do, and some waiting too. My dad has been given a sticky note he's holding in his hand. He'll wait just a little bit longer, then get to his new to-do list. Hugo doesn't mind at all.

Thank you so much! I didn't win sadly, but I made a really hard effort of it! The competitor has been around the block way more than me and has much more talkative friends...but it was fun nonetheless! He's a funny guy so atleast I didn't lose to a jerk.

Heh, heh. Β I know what you mean. Β Some good trance music and some repetitive strokes do me well, too. Β Congrats on the children's book! Β If we weren't drowning in 3 mortgages right now I'd throw the money for one your way. Β Hopefully soon.
