“Lucy. When’s it Friday?”
“Today, Little One.”
“Took forever.”
Another Friday and another weekend eve.
I don’t have a lot to report this week but was pleased to receive back three beta reader comments. These guys were way ahead of the due date, and I’m grateful for their attention to the book. I am looking forward to the others.
I am working on the marketing plan during this period. I think it will include a tour but more on that later.
We got a little rain this week. Not enough, but every little bit helps. We started the week with cold temperatures and have had record-breaking highs in the last few days. It is supposed to get cold again today. (Okay for you Northerners, cold to us is in the 50s)
Today’s JohnKu talks about the weather. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

You can take our rain and snow for a bit. Maybe some of this howling wind?

I’m still looking for more cool weather. The 70’s we’ve been having feels like spring, but I’d sure like to feel more of a winter. After 50 years of 90-95* summers that last 6 months or more – I want Winter!!

Now I’m used to this climate, John, a temperature in the 50s seems cold also. It could be because we have no heat source inside. I make do with warm sweaters, a small floor heater near my desk, and a warm quilt at night. Have a great weekend. 🙂 — Suzanne

I’m glad you’ve gotten some quick response to the new book — that has to be pleasing. I’m glad you’ve had some rain, too. A friend in Kerrville had only .04″ in January, but has received nearly three inches over three days. We both had the same thought: it may help save the wildflower crop!

That’s so true! We had some pretty heavy wind followed by a really good snow storm on Thursday. Yesterday, the temperatures returned to normal and the next storm isn’t due until Tuesday. So we’re in the 40’s they til then. I’m getting used to the high 30’s and 40’s. I was out in it all day yesterday without a coat… I had layers on mind you, but not my coat! It’s looking like I’m going to survive my first winter where it snows. 😀

Eh, we’re “looking forward” to winter temps (lows in the 20s/30s) at the beginning of the week. It’s January, I should be happy to get cold weather, but it’s the roller-coaster temps that bother me. I hate seeing trees and plants start to bloom only to be crushed by freezing temps. I hope you get some good feedback from your beta readers! Happy rest of your weekend, John!
