C'mon, Spring!
Boy, am I glad March is almost here. Not that March itself is a guarantee of better weather but it's one step closer to spring, and I cannot wait. Today is snow, sleet and a high wind advisory. Yeah, I'm done with winter. -
Where have I been?
Writing, mostly, as my new book ORDINARY BEAUTY comes out on June 14, 2011 and I'm doing some serious gearing up for it -- okay, so at least partly in my head -- but there's still a lot to do.

Hey, it's summertime...isn't it?
Yes, it is and I hope yours has been wonderful so far. Been to the shore, off on vacation, tending a garden or hanging out by the pool? Is it gloriously hot and sunny where you are? Go ahead, make me jealous. I can take it ( Read more... ) -
Out of the Woodwork
Last year when I gathered my herd, found this splendid new place in the Endless Mountain region and subbed my change of address with the post office I was running too crazy to pause much, relax and actually enjoy what was around me.
