White Christmas 2010

For the first time since 1947 this area of North Car­oli­na received a White Christ­mas.  It start­ed late in the day and I thought for sure we were going to get skunked but at around 8 p.m. the rain which had been falling most of the day turned to snow.  With­in min­utes the ground start­ed to turn white.  I stayed up as late as pos­si­ble but called it a night some­time after 9 p.m.  The next morn­ing we woke up to a won­der­land.  It was gorgeous!

The snow is slow­ly dis­ap­pear­ing but there is still a lot of it around.  I’m glad I took lots of pic­tures of the beau­ty.  Soon it will all be gone.

A White Christmas in North Carolina

The old year is almost gone but toward its end it has hand­ed  us a love­ly White Christmas.

It has been way too long since I last post­ed to this site so I need to update my life since the last post.

It has been a busy year with lots of gar­den work and work on short sto­ries and my newest nov­el.  With­in in the last three weeks I worked with my edi­tor from Whiskey Creek Press http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com, on the final edit on my book.  Now I am wait­ing to hear from the cov­er artist and then the book will be ready for it’s debut.

What an excit­ing time it is for me but what a won­der­ful sup­port sys­tem Whiskey Creek has for its authors in the form of email robin of oth­er authors.  There is a con­stant flow of ques­tions and infor­ma­tion back and forth between the more knowl­edge­able writ­ers and us newbies.

This past sum­mer was mis­er­ably hot and humid so our daylily gar­den suf­fered from lack of atten­tion.  Final­ly in the autumn we were able to get almost all the weeds out of it and had it trenched for good water runoff.

That’s about it for this time around.  I am deter­mined to do a bet­ter job of keep­ing up my blog and make it more interesting.
