Good News, Ducks....


According to Punxsutawney Phil, it will be an early spring, which is great news and will make the local ducks happy. It's already been feeling like spring here lately~beautiful blue skies and warmer temperatures and nice breezes. I've been out taking advantage of the ice-free pathways, walking over by Old Mill and behind Northwest Crossing, soaking up as much sun as possible.

A few notes...first off, happy February everybody! I missed greetings in January but as I seem to do at the beginning of a new year, I was hunkering down and taking a bit of a break from the blog.

If you were wondering, I'm waiting on releasing the new series until later this year sometime. It wasn't quite ready, and Abby and Jesse and Ty are loud in my mind (which is actually a good thing!). 44 Book Seven will be out in March sometime (hopefully early in the month).

Well, back to work over here as I plan to take some time off tomorrow for the Super Bowl. I'm making a peanut butter chocolate chip banana cake for the gathering with the fam from Susan Spicer's cookbook, Crescent City Cooking. Can't wait!

Hope you all are having a fun day, with more fun plans on the horizon!

    1. Hi Lindsey!
      That was GREAT to hear about your sister finishing up Book Six! Tell her Book Seven will be out soon :)
      And what a fun weekend you had...a ski trip with the family and the Super Bowl! Wasn't that just the best of games? (Probably not if you were a SF fan, but still...it was so exciting!)
      Hope you are still in fun mode over there, with lots more of it planned for the weekend!
