Every October I create the Library's budget proposal. We are really just beginning to spend this year's budget and it is disconcerting to think about how much money we will need to run the library beginning next July - that is July 2008 - and throughout the next fiscal year. But, it must be done - and so it is. The Library Board will discuss it at their next meeting and then I'll edit it for each of the four counties - Hanover first, in October, the others later.
The Mechanicsville Library project is the other big October project - really not much work - we have done the hard part of the planning - now we are going through the exercises of democracy - attending Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meetings for approval and permissions. Soon the real fun of construction will start and for at least the beginning of the project we have enough money for the construction.
After reading "The Historian" for the horror readers advisory group - I'm clearing my mind with "Travels with Herodotus".
The roses and gardenias are still blooming and the real delight of my garden right now is the charming vine, love-in-a-puff.

The love in a puff really is an interesting plant! I may have to try it.
