Just a few pictures I have taken recently on my walks with Lambeau. Spring is springing right along here in MA. This my window box- ranunculus, white bacopa, and yellow and blue pansies. I like pansies with faces better than the solid color ones. And just because it has decided it likes its new … Continue reading Monday Musings: Pretty Pictures
This happened to an author of my acquaintance. She got an email from a "fan" and the gist of it was this: Dear Ms. Author. I really like your books. I think they are well-written and I enjoyed reading them. (So far, so good, right? Hang on.) However, I have returned them all because you … Continue reading Monday Musings: “Your Books Are So Good, I Shouldn’t Have to Pay for Them.”
Well, that's not precisely true. I do have things to review, I just didn't get one done this week. It has been one of those weeks where I have been off by a day all week, and it was just confusing enough to leave me empty today. Next week will be better. I hope. Meanwhile, … Continue reading Friday Review: I Got Nothing
We took the bikes out for the first ride of the season yesterday. We didn't ride much last year, and that was too bad because it is fun. We have TerraTrike Rovers, and they are really great bikes. I love the recumbent seats. It's far better on my back than a conventional bike, and the … Continue reading Monday Musings: A Spring Bike Ride
Another gorgeous day, so Lambeau and I walked one of the woods trails here. It was cool and lovely, even with no leaves on the trees as yet. But the buds are swelling nicely, and the smaller branches are greening. And there are a few bugs starting to flit about. Two views of the … Continue reading Another Walk in the Woods in the Springtime
Well, it is another gray and gloomy Monday, with rain in the forecast (and outside, so I guess those guys were right today!). It has left me with a gray and gloomy attitude, also, and not a whole lot of ambition. I have stuff to do, just not much desire to actually do it! April … Continue reading Monday Musings:
I'm not old enough to sing the blues But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose Well, I look in the mirror I don't hate what I see There's a few more … Continue reading Not Old, Just Older
One of the consequences of moving recently has been a falling off on the writing schedule. (Apologies to those who thought I was getting the serialized story from this blog out as an e-book this Spring. It is still happening. It had to be delayed a bit.) I have gotten the chance to sit down … Continue reading Monday Musings: Planning and Other Boring Stuff
Since it is so nice and sunny today, I decided Lambeau and I would take a walk in the woods. I took a few pictures while we were out. This is pretty much what we saw the whole time we were out. This is one of the two hawks that was stalking us for while. … Continue reading Walking in the Woods on a Pretty Spring Day
Well, I intended to finish this post yesterday, but that didn't seem to be in the cards. I guess all the activity over the past few weeks finally caught up with me, and I was really feeling pretty miserable. I thought for a while that I was getting sick, even spiked a low grade fever … Continue reading Monday Musings: On Moving, and Getting Back To Normal
And So On...
