Cooler weather, fall is here!

Dear friends,

I know I've been a bit lax at updating this blog but have been busy with the "money-making" activities, AKA work. LOL. I have a new annual Thanksgiving short e-story out, Death at Do-Lolly's Diner, in addition to the two previous ones and am working on a Christmas comedy based on one of my prize-winning plays. More news soon about that.

I also got news that one of my non-fiction stories/essays will be published in the SEEDS newsletter from Texas Gardener magazine, later in November. It's been years since I wrote for TG, and am pleased to be able to contribute there again.  I'll post the date when it's confirmed.

But for now, I thought I'd share some fall and Thanksgiving photos with you. Just because. :-)

Goldenrod's blooming and the butterflies love it! Right outside my office window.

And more pumpkins.

 Happy fall, y'all!

Fall pumpkin fun...

I'm not sure what it is about pumpkins, but I cannot get enough of them. Perhaps it's the colors, the textures, or the fact that they are such a simple thing. I must have hundreds of pumpkin photos here that I've taken over the years.

This one was taken a few years back in Salado, Texas at the pumpkin patch at Fletcher's Bookstore there.

And here's one of the strangest pumpkins I've ever bought. We found it at a wonderful Pumpkin Patch in Grape Creek, Texas, right outside San Angelo a few weeks ago. I need to look this up to find out what variety it is. I just call it the "Nubby Punkin."


Happy trails from Texas!
