Just now when I got up to go get the camera so I could upload and crop the pictures for the blog tonight, I had a thought. See, I've spent the day working on writing--reediting Open For Business, meeting with GBB to plan our vendor fairs, more reediting, republishing Spies Don't Retire, updating my Categories & Keywords list. The thought that came to me was that I didn't work this hard when I had a job! This is the screen that was making me wait to preview the new edition of Spies Don't Retire. It takes its own sweet time getting everything all organized before it opens so I can look at it all together and approve it. Whew. It's a job and for very little pay. But I sure am having fun.
One cool thing that happened today was the very first copy of Anneke's Legacy came! I always order one retail as soon as it's available on Amazon so I have the first one. I've ordered 25 author copies to be delivered in a couple weeks so I'll have them to sell but this one won't be sold. It's mine. All mine. This book isn't part of The Seaview Series. It's a standalone novel about a young woman who has to go to Bonaire to settle her late great-aunt's estate. She meets two men--a brooding fisherman and a suitable young attorney. Guess which one she falls for.
I've been seeing squirrels running across the patio or scampering across the fence by the retaining wall but today this one stopped to try to hoover up some fallen goodies under the suet nuggets feeder. And I heard a bird crash into the patio door but I wasn't out there to see what kind of bird it was. Probably a Mourning Dove. They hit the door a lot. They're not great fliers.
Today's flower is a Snowdrop. They're mostly white but I used my lightest blue pencil to shade the petals just a bit. I think they call that "artistic license."
It got up to 29 degrees today and it was sunny so it felt great outside. I walked out onto the porch when GBB left and the air didn't hurt. Made a nice change. I just checked my weather app and it's supposed to snow in half an hour. Hopefully not much. I'm not in the mood.
