I popped to Tennessee to visit and it rained -result, instant flooding. The water went down almost as fast as it had risen.

Smudge and I; and the lovely pumpkins outside Whole Foods. Smudge is wearing his 'going out' harness, which is great for round town ...with his small head, he can slip the collar if he gets a fright. The harness seemed a better solution to unexpected noises ...like the jack hammer that started up right beside us one day (from behind a sheet of plywood, so we couldn't see it!)

I revised the draft cover for my latest novel this week. 70,000 words written so far and it's (still) rolling along nicely. (latest update, November 2nd)

I put out a feeder for the hummingbirds that stay over winter. Now I have to stop watching them and do some work!

I'm working hard, but If I'm ever to raise my author profile I need more (good) reviews. So, if you like a book or a short story, PLEASE leave a review on whatever website you got it from ...be it Smashwords, Goodreads, Barnes and Noble or where-ever ...thank you so much!

The petunias are starting to suffer from powdery mildew and it was time for some fresh planting ...so I found a lovely nursery near the botanical gardens yesterday and bought some violas and polystichum ferns to fill up the gaps.
