Kevin and I finished another 1000 piece puzzle. I do like puzzles now, very much. The kids are old enough that they don't walk if with pieces, which is a great blessing.
Last blog post I spoke of a winter storm. We got well over a foot one day, and then a week later, we got four more inches. It was below freezing for several weeks, and we had a lot of snow. It was beautiful in a chilly way.
This last week the temps finally, reluctantly, popped up past freezing, and a couple of days it was 50 something. So the snow began melting with enthusiasm.
This morning I took a picture of a cat visitor. The kids saw him a few months ago and named him Deck Chair because he was, at the time, sitting on a deck chair.
You can see how most of the snow has melted.
This coming week is going to be really warm and nice. I adore the first warm days of the year because there are no bugs and everything feels fresh and new.
I didn't blog for more than two weeks so a lot has happened. We did launch a book and Amazon DID send out messages about it to our followers, and the book has done substantially better than the last two books. That makes us happy. It has been wobbling in and out of best seller status in Romantic Adaptations. At the moment it is a best seller in that catagory and one other, which means we have an orange banner on the book. Amazon pushes books that are doing well so that helps.
I am 50,000 plus words into another book. It is farther off of "canon" -- which is to say, farther from the original P and P. I have a long way to go. It will be long.
An older relation of mine got sick in the last couple of weeks. She is recovering. I am thankful for good medical care.
That's about it. We have kids coming and going with work. Lydia has a friend visiting from the West Coast starting at the end of next week. It is good.
