I love this cloud photo Gerry snapped a couple of weeks ago. Weather has been unseasonably warm this winter. In fact, I noticed last weekend that my crocus’ are up!
Now, they’re calling for snow this evening and tomorrow. Things get crazy around here when it snows so it’s a good time for me to hunker down with books, quilts, knitting, and other home comforts. Hubby is away this weekend so the girls and I are holding down the fort. I’m guessing there will be some Hallmark movies playing this evening.
Sharing the Love
Today, I’m sharing links to some blogs I’ve been enjoying. It’s a diverse and interesting mix I bring to you today.
First, a couple of selections about writing.
Helen Ginger at Straight From Hel has a link to a very good article about Amazon’s self-publishing arm, CreateSpace. More and more writers are choosing to bypass the traditional agent/publishing house path and adopt a DIY approach where they maintain control of their work.
Shirley Showalter shares a video of a query critique by Marla Miller, columnist for The Writer magazine.
In a different vein, I’m loving some of the new rural living blogs I’ve come across recently.
Rural Revival is about “a city girl, an old home and a new way.”
Jayme at Tales from the Coop Keeper has beautiful photos, tales about her chickens, and entertaining stories about her everyday life.
Finally, I’ve taken a liking to some of the home decorating and crafting blogs. Pinterest takes credit for this slight diversion from my regular focus.
dottie angel is amazing. I like her simple approach to decorating.
A Stroll Thru Life is filled with eye candy and inspiration for things around the home.

No doubt you’re navigating slushy roads by now since we’ve had periodic snow flurries. It’s beautiful here right now, and I’m grateful not to be out driving in it.
I’ve got you synced on my blog so as not to lose you 🙂
I use Google Reader. I hope they don’t disconnect it any time soon. Stay warm!
Dear Linda,
The photograph is lovely. Please thank your husband for it. I hope you get done this weekend all that calls to you. Thanks for sharing some of your blog favorites with us. Right now, I’m spending so much time each day reading blogs that I’m feeling overwhelmed. How do you manage????
Peace
I love love that photo!
