There is No Hump Day...

...in a campground. Sorry, working folks. I am sitting outside at 7 am, listening to a woodpecker and watching a small hummingbird flitting along our string of lights that look like old fashioned red lanterns. I know he is wondering what idiot would use lights that resemble feeders.
 
Walnut Woods is a small delightful park on the south edge of Des Moines that contains the largest stand of native walnut trees left in the world, as well as some wonderful old oaks. They also have an excellent bird-viewing area where you can watch a huge variety of birds at work on the feeders pictured
through a slit in a small building.

Last night we had a great visit with former high school classmate, Lee Wolf, and his wife. We apologize to Lee on behalf of the squirrel who spent the evening raining pieces of acorn down on him from the oak tree above.

We did finally get to see one of the covered bridges in Madison County before we headed up here on Monday. This is probably the most famous of the six surviving bridges, the Roseman, and the structure inside really is amazing.

I am getting a little writing done and the first draft of Frannie's third adventure, Peete and Repeat, is nearing completion. I can't wait to see how it ends.

Thinking in a similar vein, I want to promote our Arkansas' Marion county as they do the Bridges of Madison County. Since all Arkansas citizens are required to have at least one major appliance rusting on the front porch, I'm going to propose a 'Fridges of Marion County tour map.

Neither can I wait or Frannie's next adventure! I would say 'write faster' but as a writer myself I know that's not possible - sigh -Loving the first two books.

Donna-Thank you for the comments and the review! Glad you enjoyed it. I just finished the third book and it is with my beta readers. Hope it will be out sometime in September. Thanks again!--Karen

KAREN...AS AN EXCITED READER, THE NEWS OF YOUR FINISHING #3 IS TERRIFIC, MUCH ADMIRATION FOR THE AUTHOR AND OF COURSE HURRAH FOR THE BOOK COVER DESIGNER, AND THOSE DILIGENT READERS/EDITORS!
