Not that I actually want it this way, but my days are filled
with lazy hours spent lounging in the garden room devouring books—slim books,
thick books, good and bad books. I’m not lazy—just lazing after I’ve finished searching
the employment ads, sent my resume to anything that sounds like I could do it,
put on my running shoes and power-walked miles, puttered in the garden,
harvested the crop and prepped packages for the freezer, made sure the house
was presentable (me too) and planned my meals. I know this seems like a lot but
I am usually ready to recline by early afternoon—book in hand. I know, I know—I
should be writing and you’re right but the chaise and stories call and it is
summer after all.
I do write and have received confirmation that another of my
pieces has been chosen for a new edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul. This
makes four now! I Can’t Believe My Dog Did
That will be launched August 19 and I will follow suit on the 23rd.
Which brings up another topic—I have decided to rent space at the North Gower
Farmers Market from August through to October 11. I will be selling (at least
that’s the plan) my books, including Chicken Soup ones, and canvas prints of my
photos. I will do my book launch there—check out their web site to find what
time. Right now, I have the display of my photos set up in the office and
getting reactions wherever and whenever I can—so far so good. So if you live
within distance come out to the market and say “hey”.
Since it is the year of the snake I thought you might enjoy seeing one of my visitors to the garden - see him?
