The Weekend Starts Now

Wink and A Nod Thursday

Today's Wink and Nod recipient is Marcie at The Quiet Country House.
Marcy blogs about gardens and nature. At Marcie's blog, you'll find lovely photos and bits of  poetry sprinkled amid the pictures.  I think you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do.
She also has published the book Cultivating Success In The Garden.
Wink, wink, Marcie.

So many blogs. So little time.

Wacky Wednesday

Four-Legged Terrorists

If you look closely you can see Captain on the other side of the window.
The monster kitten and the dog got so bad about getting into the  kitchen cabinets we had someone come out and put magnets on the doors.  Then we dry-washed our hands. Problem solved.
Until.......
The HH didn't get the pantry door closed securely.  The next morning when we got up we found paper and food strewn all over the dining room floor. As close as I can tell the cat pried the door open and the dog got on his hind legs and pulled items off the shelf.
My next plan:
Wear the dog out so she wouldn't have the energy or inclination to get in the pantry or whatever else she happened to be poking her nose into at the time.  I started leaving her in the (enclosed) backyard for three hours a day.
Until....
She figured out how to open the door.
Back to square one.
The HH's take: Good thing we didn't have them when the kids were little or they would have given the kids ideas.
Got any four-legged terrorists at your house?

Wink and A Nod Thursday

First let me say I'm fascinated by her website header. Pick a book any book and click on it.  You'll see what I mean:) Lee writes wonderful middle grades stories. She's also a big believer in giving back. She'll pick an author and support them for a month by featuring them on her blog and tweeting them.  Kudos to Lee for this.
Wink. Wink, Lee.
So many blogs. So little time.

IWSG Wednesday

It's IWSG  Wednesday!  Can you believe it's March 1?The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their  doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling. 


The IWSG March Question: Have you ever pulled out a really old story and reworked it? Did it work? 
It depends on one's definition of really old. Like Steven King's UNDER THE DOME?  If so, yes I pulled one out and no it didn't work out.  

I have been re-releasing books that were published several years ago.
The latest: Boji Stones
  I love this cover (designed by pixelstudio at Fiverr).  It reminds me of Donna's Gracie at the Gather Blog. 

Marnie  has a secret that could rock the modern world.  Two men have discovered it.  One is a scholar.  One is a madman. 

Available at Amazon.

Riddle Me This

pixabay.com (Not our actual window.)
Why would anyone design a house and put a nice big window, overlooking the street, behind the bathroom stool? Seriously.  I'm not making this one up. It's how our bathroom is laid out. Lucky for all the passersby, we keep the blinds closed so that no one is accidentally mooned.
Don't misunderstand me, I love our house, warts and all.  But the rational for putting a window there escapes me.
Got any riddles at your place?
