Snowy Picture ...



One blog review site already requested a day in June to have me guest blog in anticipation of Heart of the Highland Wolf's release!! So June 14's taken, in case anyone is wondering.

This is not in Texas, believe me. Although one year as I mentioned on the Casablanca blog, we had an ice and snow storm for Thanksgiving. I was in St Louis doing my reserve training one year when a blizzard hit for Thanksgiving also. Another lieutenant and I were invited to a lieutenant colonel's house for the feast. So I drove us through the blizzard to get there. He and his wife were awfully nice and it was really worth it, although at the time we wondered if we'd make it! :)



So where do you think this is? Do you see the bird? He probably wonders where the birdseed went to!! He knew it was around here somewhere.

We used to live in Madison, Wisconsin, and I recall the gorgeous fall leaves there, the huge piles of leaves once they'd fallen from the trees, frozen lakes in winter that we'd skate across in just plain old snow boots, and the mountains of snow my dad carried me through to reach the bus stop. I was in kindergarten. :)

We lived in Colorado also and saw a fair amount of snow. And in Oregon. And New Jersey. And Oklahoma. And Maryland.

Oh all right...it's only Texas and California and Florida that I've lived where we didn't have snow, or much of it. :)

One day last year, we had enough snow here in the Heart of Texas for folks to build snowmen all over the city. One looked to be a college girl wearing shorts, a Baylor sweatshirt, shivering, hunched into herself, hands in pockets while others built the snowman. Hmm, if it's cold enough to have snow, it's cold enough to put on long pants. :) I guess they don't teach that at Baylor.

It was cold enough for us actually to have snow yesterday, if we'd had the moisture.

I'm off to awful Mondays. I wish I could say they weren't so bad sometimes, but I can't honestly say so. We're horribly understaffed.

Have a super Monday! I'm looking forward to the book signing on Saturday and turkey day too!
