Snow!

 Winter has magically arrived. We are getting lots and lots of snow, followed by at least a week of sub zero temperatures and sunny days. This hasn't happened for about ten years. Usually any snow we get (some winters none at all) melts in a day or two. Maybe we will be ice skating next weekend!

I finished up my last round of submissions this week for my novel. That is a relief. Now that I have tried the traditional route, I can move onto self-publishing, which keeps sounding more and more interesting. It will be fun to put a little team together and make this novel the best we can. I don't have high expectations for it, but it is a fun project. Some new information really turned me off to the traditional route - most novels that get signed by publishers don't go anywhere, and then the publishers don't let the author have their work back to do something else with. I would like to avoid that scenario!

Finished up the interior framing, top, sides, and feet of the cabinet. Now onto the drawers and doors. Hope to have it finished by the end of the month. Also fixed the kitchen lights and planted some tomato seeds. It has been a productive weekend so far!

Thursday - warm and springlike.

Sunday - winter!
