Too cute

And a great message!

You can fast forward a bit but don't miss it when she comes out the first time- it's great to see and hear the reaction.

Oh and before I forget...
Today's "No... THANK YOU!" award goes to Michael Di Gesu of In Time- a writer, Michael is still in the process of doing the querying and submission thing. A former model, he now gets the green energy from interior design and you can see his good taste on his blog, the pictures he takes and in the designs he has posted (also pictures). He's been a blogging buddy for almost two years (I met him during a Christmas Blogfest) and have had the pleasure of his neighborly visits since. If you drop by his blog, you'll find that Michael also shares his getting into shape tips which are great suggestions for those of us who want to drop a  few pounds- and who doesn't? 

So THANK YOU, Michael for all your support and encouragement!

it's snowing again

There was snow

I woke up this morning at the wee pre-crack of dawn stumbled into the living room and glanced out the window, "Ahhh!" It was heartfelt, raised a sleepy, "What's wrong?" from the bedroom. "Look out the window." "Ah, there's snow."

It's not really that I hate snow. Snow has done nothing to me personally -unless you count that morning when the roads were so slick that I slid right into that guy at the stoplight as I was returning from driving my son across town to his school. It's quiet, somber, blankets the world with a still blanced beauty.

As long as you don't have to go out into it.

Then it sucks.

 I miss this already:

 Summertime...

Come back!!!!

The elephant

What do you think about when you're at the zoo? I have begun to have a vague sense of guilt. I love seeing the huge Pachydermata strolling, casually pacing the green grass of my hometown, far from the lands he might have been born to (had she avoided the net that was cast when it was a wee calf or the trap that was set for it's mother and father.) 

But then that is why I have a sense of guilt. Is it pacing this small cage just for my (and your) pleasure? Is it wondering why it's body aches for the greener shores of a distant land? 

Maybe it just enjoys the larger and more comfortable grounds with plentiful peanuts and water. 

Today I'd like to recognize another of my great commenters... she's a published author-- has two children she's already launched and is in the process of waiting for the launch of another ('Hooked'- the one to the left). She's a native of the midwest but now resides in her adopted home of Phoenix, Arizona. The landscape and people have clearly imprinted on her consciousness as they have influenced at least one of her books quite directly. You can read about Liz's adventures as a writer at her blog and see more about her books at her website.

Her YA debut HOOKED releases from Harlequin TEEN in January 2013! Congratulations Liz and best wishes!!!
