WOW!
I don’t know about where you live, but here in Oklahoma, we are definitely in the
wet zone. My lawncare person has me on the list to do my yard as soon as the weather
gives us a few days to dry out, and believe me, it might take some rather warm
days to do just that. While my yard is green, the back is 50% weeds right now.
I’m
sitting on the front porch this morning writing today’s post. Usually, I sit on
the back patio, but since it faces east, the sun is always shining on my glass
top table, and the umbrella isn’t big enough to block it out. So, I have decided
that I’m going to write on the front porch from now on because it’s covered. The
only downside, which is minor, is that I don’t have electricity out here to
plug my devices in should they need them. I think I might have to fancy up the
porch a bit more with some silk greenery and maybe some hanging items if I’m going
to work out here. The only thing is that the front of my house faces the west, and the wind coming in from that direction can be a bit much, not to mention
the wind from the south as well. But air movement is better than none.
I
have about 1200 words left to finish my Friday the 13th story. Once
I get it done, I’ll give it a read-through, make sure there are 13 chapters,
and then send it off to the editor. Then I will get back to finishing the
writing of the historical cozy I had been working on.
While
the week didn’t start out ideal – flat tire on Monday and then a brake light
out on Friday – I am truly blessed to have people around me to help with such
things. My former pastor and his brother-in-law came out and changed the tire
for me as my son was working, then my son changed the brake light bulb on
Saturday for me after the rain stopped.
That’s
it for this week, and I think I might have to go put a sweater on if I’m going
to sit out here to write this morning. Unlike the back patio, the front porch
doesn’t have a windbreak, and it’s a bit cooler than I thought it would be out
here, even with the humidity at 88%.
I
can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life
as an author. I hope I haven’t bored you too much with them. 😊 After
all, others’ lives are never as glamorous as we may think.
May
your Kindle or bookshelf overflow with great books to read!
