Spring and an Announcement

 

                                   

The frogs were singing on Thursday and the temperature was in the balmy sixties. Glorious! Rain is forecast and the temps will drop but still, Spring is on her way.

                                                

I spied a lone snow drop in the dooryard garden and hiked over to the little cabin where I have a bed of hellebores. Alas, something had been at them--there are usually many in bloom but not this time. Still, they are an always welcome sight.



ANNOUNCEMENT! I blogged about the wonderful McMullen Circle a few weeks ago. Now I get to talk with the author--and you're invited!

This Sunday, 2/20-- Sponsored by Great Smokies Writing Program, Heather Newton will read from and discuss her recently-published short story collection McMullen Circle, in conversation with author Vicki Lane. As always, the reading will be virtually hosted by our good friends at Malaprop's; you can tune in to the YouTube livestream at 3:00 pm.  

The reading is free to attend, but please RSVP. And, if you want to purchase copies of Heather's or Vicki's books, please consider doing so through Malaprop's to support our local indie gem! 

                                                                                 


The above was posted Thursday night. It's snowing Friday morning--but the frogs are still singing.

Early signs of spring are always cheering. In less than a month we'll be on daylight saving time.
