The weather guessers tell us that there’s yet another snowstorm headed our way. We’re preparing for 12 to 18 more inches of snow on top of what we already have still sitting around. Oh joy.

Snow is pretty. But it’s darned inconvenient. Even after the roads are plowed we are still stuck way back here until we can find someone to plow the road that is our driveway. And I don’t even want to talk about what happens when the power goes out. But let me just say this…Without power, we have no water.

So, we do the best that we can.

The refrigerators are stocked. The wine cellar is full. We have batteries and blankets. If the power stays on we have plenty of entertainment too—books, projects, writing.

I sort of wish that I had one of those jobs that couldn’t be done from home so it could be a real holiday. Alas, my clients will still be expecting their stuff.

Look what I did, Mom!

Seriously, my author copies of Grocery Gardening finally arrived. I also spied copies on the shelf at the Barnes & Noble in Annapolis. I hear they are on the shelves at other booksellers as well as the big box hardware stores.

I have already shipped off copies to my son in college, my parents and my brothers. I signed them just like a big-time author too.

You want a copy? Look up and right and click on the image to take you to the Cool Springs Press bookstore where you can get your own copy. Or you can wait a while and take your chances at a Grocery Gardening giveaway I’ll be holding in a few days.

But first, I just want to see this little stack of books on my desk for a little while longer.
