Since apparently my cloudy commute pictures are depressing some folks, here’s one from the other morning, when the sun was shining in one corner of the sky:
I love how the light saturates the field with color, making the crops pop against the clouds darkening the distant sky. 🙂

Wait! No, please don’t run away! That was supposed to be funny…You know, and make you think of this…
Or even this:
Or, better yet, this:
It’s release day for Running Away, the second book in Julie Hutchings Shinigami series, and I’m super excited to help her celebrate! But what’s behind this pretty cover?
Today is a pretty special day, so I have a pretty special picture to share:
Five years ago, I married my best friend, and this is one of my favorite pictures from that day. It’s hard to believe it’s been five years – we’ve packed so much into so short a time, but I wouldn’t trade a minute of it. We’ve moved twice, added two beautiful boys to our family, and embarked on another remodeling adventure. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next five years, and the five after that, and the five after that…

This morning started off with a beautifully colored sky, even if it did look like it was going to rain:
A couple miles further down the road, it did start to rain, and it kept it up most of the morning. I’m glad the rain has stopped now, but I do wish it wasn’t so boringly gray outside.

The clouds on my drive home lately have been just gorgeous:
I love my commute. 🙂

Bubbles has to be at his football games an hour early to practice beforehand. If I was attending by myself, it would be a great time to get some reading done, or some writing, or even that strange new thing the kids these days call socializing. You know, actually interacting with other actual people.
But I don’t get to do that. I go everywhere accompanied by kids – sometimes two, sometimes three, sometimes four. And while I was waiting for Bubbles’ game to start Sunday afternoon, Cricket and Miss Tadpole had fun entertaining each other, which was lots of fun to watch (more fun than the game, even, since I’m clueless when it comes to football).

Since Bubbles was gone last weekend, we let him have a few friends over last night to help him celebrate his birthday. They had a blast playing football in the yard, staying up late watching movies, and generally eating us out of house and home.
“Let’s tell ghost stories!”
But I have to admit I felt a little bad for Cricket. He adores his big brother, and he wants nothing more than to hang out with the big boys. But Bubbles needs time away from being the big brother now and then, and there’s no explaining that to a four-year-old.
Something tells me this is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

Today started off dark and gloomy. But by noon, the clouds had parted.
Of course now the weather seems to think we’re back in July, because it was 80° all day. Still, it was a beautiful afternoon. 🙂

Cricket and I were looking through some of my Instagram pictures tonight. He kept asking who the people were in the pictures on my feed, so finally I flipped over to my pictures and asked him who the people were in the pictures I’d posted. He did pretty well, though I think sometimes he answered wrong just to be silly.
Cricket’s nothing if not silly.
But then we came to this picture:
And when I asked him who was in this picture, without missing a beat, he said, “Um, that’s my godfather and his princess.” 🙂

So today’s prompt is about stories. Quite convenient, really, as I just posted an interview with the main character from The Price of Mercy.
Revision work continues. I got absolutely nothing done on it yesterday, but I managed to eke out a few paragraphs this noon while on my lunch break. I wish either a.) that lunch breaks were longer so I could get more done, or b.) that someone would pay me to stay home and write all day.
Since neither of those things are likely to happen anytime soon, I guess I’ll just have to keep plugging away a few minutes at a time. Don’t forget to check out Charnele’s blog and see what stories she’s into. Happy Friday, everybody!

Suddenly they all died. The end.
