Seasons change and so do priorities. It’s been pretty quiet here on my website. I went from promoting my book and book release event (definitely a little more than I was comfortable with!), to pretty much not mentioning it at all. Self-promotion is tiresome. And with the arrival of summer, my schedule is completely overrun by a new set of priorities.

My sons.

And working in my garden.

And basking in sunshine, as it seems so rare here in the Pacific Northwest.

Mostly, my days are filled with trying to avoid anything that is electronic and embracing everything that is wonderful in this life and encouraging my family to do the same.

Not where I’d typically expect to see someone’s shopping list…

Berries from my garden…

Vampires will not be coming anywhere near my property after this year’s garlic harvest…

Important reading…

Okay, so maybe a little time plugged in… (So excited my new-to-me NES came with a Game Genie!)

Had the opportunity to see one of my all-time favorite bands, Chevelle…

My sons, Creed & Traben, ready take on the skate park where we spend time almost every, single day…

Life is good.

Hope all of you faithful readers are enjoying every moment of this incredible life you’ve been gifted.

What’s your favorite way to spend a hot summer day?
