Things Are Looking Up

I hope everyone out there is surviving this very difficult time and finding plenty of "goodreads" to distract them from worrying about themselves and their loved ones.

Things do seem to be looking up however. I'm fortunate to have had both my shots now, at one of the six mega-sites in New Jersey, the Meadowlands Racetrack. The National Guard was on hand to keep the lines moving and they did a great job. The whole experience took only a bit more than an hour and that's counting the drive there and back.

Spring is coming to New Jersey as well! Yesterday people were out in tee-shirts and today we are having a torrential April shower. Daffodils and forsythia are blooming and little leaves are starting to appear on shrubs that last week appeared to be dead.

The most recent few of my Knit & Nibble mysteries have been timed to appear in seasons appropriate to their settings. Last fall's KNIT OF THE LIVING DEAD, which took place at Halloween, came out in September. The new book, KNITTY GRITTY MURDER, will be out as of this Tuesday and takes place in May.

The cover has a wonderful springlike feel with cats (if it's a cozy, there have to be cats!) enjoying a picnic in a garden-like setting, and the plot involves a murderer targeting the Arborville community gardens.

There's a new Yarn Mania up too, an amazing estate sale find. It's a hand-knit afghan featuring a giant image of Mickey Mouse: https://peggyehrhart.com/category/yar...
