Summer in All Its Glory
I’ve been more focused on my flowers and my tomato plants this summer than my writing. It’s not lollygagging, though. I do a lot of writing in my head and planning while I’m watering and pulling weeds. Yesterday, I was standing idly by my garden boxes, watering the tomatoes, when a new visitor showed up …Read More
