Novel Writing Class

Tonight was my last writing class with Linda Clare. I will really miss it. But I am determined to continue writing and plan to take the essay class next fall.
Thank you to Linda. She is a great teacher.
My goal is to begin submitting "The Beautiful Nest" before the end of summer.

A beautiful morning

This morning when I got out of bed, the air was clean and fresh from the thunderstorm last night. The breeze was cool. The sun is peeking in and out of the clouds. A perfect day. I must keep myself inside to sew instead of outside planting.

So far, my chickens have been quiet this morning.

Angela wants me to give her daily updates on why she should want to leave her home in India she loves, and move to the USA. This calm morning is a perfect reason.

A day in my backyard farm

Well, the chickens, Abby and Beulah finally pushed me over the edge. I could not let them wander the yard anymore because they discovered the veggie garden, the sweet peas and the 4'oclocks.
Sophia and I built a new fence for them today. I hope they will be happy and quiet now, or they may find themselves in my crock pot.
I will have to re-configure the back yard a bit now. But I don't mind. More planting. Viney things to hide the chicken wire fence.
It's all fun.

My first blog

I am taking a wonderful free class at the Eugene Public Library to set up my blog.
