Happy Wednesday!

Hi!

The weather is absolutely gorgeous here. 

I spent all yesterday afternoon and well into the evening sitting on the screened porch (mostly on video conferences). It was such a beautiful day. We had a thunderstorm last night, but at least it held off until after I brought the laptop back inside.

FROM MY WRITING DESK

I'm awaiting the return of Blast Radius from my editor, but I'm keeping busy with numerous other projects.

The book fair in Selinsgrove went well, so I must order copies of my Pennsylvania Parks series books as well as Midnight Offensive to ensure I have enough in stock for the Danville Spring Fling next month.

Here's a photo of me and Bethany (@thebookwormgirl_bethany). If you don't already follow her on Instagram, be sure to check her out.

FARM NEWS

Sadie is still on a semi-hunger strike (which only applies to her dry dog food; she'll still eat a fried egg and as many cookies as she can convince us to give her). I'm also fairly certain she sneaks some raw eggs and gets her share of whatever Cassie Cat brings to the barn. Have I mentioned that our cat is a serial killer? She deserves a thriller novel of her own.

In other news, we're on the second week of incubating eggs. I need to do a little better about remembering to turn them this week since it's vital I stay on top of flipping them in week two.

Farmer Joe set up the new camera, and I used it to film Sadie "helping" him take the ladder down. 

We also grabbed a few seconds of Wendy lounging atop a spool. Below her is Shirley, but you can only see her horns. The next time they start acting "goat crazy," we'll flip the camera on and see if we can get some good video.
