Things are blooming!

Here's Tomato Plant #1, in a sunny spot along the
side of my house.


And here's Tomato #2, already sporting a tiny
blossom.


I call this one "Training Bogey" -- I planted a
bouganvillia (sp?) last summer and this year I'm
trying to train it to climb along the fence.



Here are the Home Depot "Knock Out" roses,
under my kitchen window.

Here's a pale pink rose from the Olde Rose

Emporium, next to an antique water pump.

Roses in bloom!

Last year I planted several rose bushes, and I'm so happy to see them blooming this year!

Look at the photos attached, which include a pale pink rose from the Olde Rose Emporium, and several Knock-Out roses from Home Depot.

I'm waiting for the yellow and peach roses to bloom, also from the Olde Rose Emporium.

Great Writing "How To" Books

I'm furiously making notes for my novel's revision from the current craft book I'm reading. It's titled Don't Murder Your Mystery by Chris Roerden. Fabulous!

Other favorite books on Writing -- ones I've discovered so far -- are:

If You Want to Write by Brenda Ueland, written in 1938 but still 'spot on.'
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
On Writing by Stephen King
Ten Rules of Writing by Elmore Leonard
