Just before she saw a mouse. Busy day. Shopped. Got stung cutting nettles. Getting ready for lambing. Was going to go to Cape Cod for a few days, but I think lambs are due that weekend in July. Rats. Talked with my editor about calling Rose Rose in my novel. She likes using Rose’s real name, so we are still leaning that way and looking for a title for the book.
I am very excited to be returning to fiction. I’ve also much enjoyed writing a children’s book about Frieda and her interactions with Izzy, Lenore and Rose. I am quieting down. Feeling peaceful. Liking it.
