I’m traveling with my good friend Susan Carlisle, who writes medical romances for Harlequin Mills & Boon. Quick trip to Oklahoma yesterday, returning home today. We’re having a blast talking about writing and plotting while on the road.

I do have those pictures of the garden to share with you soon and news! I picked my first ripe tomato yesterday. It came from the Patio Tomato plant. Luvs me some home-grown ‘maters!

Also on the home front: Hubby and I removed the pool cover and discovered we’d waited too long this year and had a green swamp. Ewwwwww!!!!!! Believe me, you don’t want to see a picture of THAT. I wish someone would have told us we did a good thing last year by taking the cover off early.  Instead we got a lot of “Really? This early?” responses. Color us clueless.

Thank goodness we have a great pool guy on speed dial and learned from him that it’s salvageable. Susan and I are hoping for clearer waters by the time we return to my house. Fingers crossed…
