  1. Hey, happy Weekend, Seekerville! We're still running ragged here on the farm but tonight I get to shower and put on a dress and go to a wedding! I don't know if I can clean up that well, but I'm gonna try my best to put on the dawg! :)

    Everything is growing on the farm, this is our pivotal month... can we get things to that final stage of growth without powdery mildew, blight, etc. messing with us?????

    WE'LL SOON SEE! In the meantime I'm avidly writing early in the day and listening to birds and a neighbor's rooster. :)

    Now I need to get my own rooster again!

    Have a great weekend, folks!

    3. Good for you. You will clean up perfectly. Have fun at the wedding. Prayers that all goes well on the farm. I love chickens and roosters. We had a lot when I was growing up on the farm in CA. quilting dash lady at comcast dot net

  2. Good morning, Seekerville. I'm so excited about this Summer of Suspense collection. I don't know about the rest of you, but I love novella collections, especially when I'm super busy. I can sit and relax for a short bit knowing I won't be tempted to lose my entire day to reading because the story is short.

    Hope everyone has fun weekend plans.
