Spring! I forgot what
a whirlwind it can be. The days grow
longer, but it still seems there are not enough hours. I think that is because we tend to fill up
all the daylight! Here is a short rundown of what is happening around my place.
My two college boys moved home for the summer. That means more. More food.
More dishes. More noise!
I made a quick trip to Cove and LaGrande, Oregon to visit my
sister and do a couple of book signings.
It was fun to meet new people, renew some old acquaintances, and share some
readings from my books. I love to hear
people laugh at those things I have penned that I intended to by funny.
I’m training for another half marathon. A friend who just began running again after
many years of not running asked if I would do one with her and promised to
train. We are training together. She is faster than I and it is challenging
me!
I conned some friends into running the Grand Teton Relay in
August. Wowser! I hope we survive.
I am heading to Pennsylvania in a few days to visit my
daughter and her family. (It’s really
about visiting the little girls.)
We are re-landscaping – just because. It is slow going.
The garden is producing lettuce and spinach. That will help
with the “more food” challenges listed above.
I am terrorizing a pair of robins as I photograph the
happenings in the nest they built outside my bedroom window. Three little birds and one blue egg remain
today. Poor little robin. I will have to take another photo tomorrow to
see if the last egg hatched.
I’m trying to write.
It is slow going, but I have a plan and I hope to get another book in
print by the end of the summer. We will
see. I can promise it is coming, but
then – so is Christmas.
