Busy time

Well, publicity for the book is quite the event. I have 7 or 8 places to write and share information about my book and also connect with others who are avid readers, writers, or just lovers of prose.
On the social front, my beloved clematis are the most beautiful I have ever seen. This year the red ones came up first in massive bloom, overshadowing everything in the small garden space. I am not a gardener but i do love to see at least one or two types of flowers in abundance. Clematis is the most heartening to me. When my mother died, I took the Bach Flower remedy clematis to help with my grief. I must have an affinity for the flower essence. Even though I still grieve, I felt the lessening of my heart tension within days. I was actually able to view her loss, with love for her life, and struggles at the end. I will always love clematis and perhaps when I retire and have time to keep a real garden, it will be as full of those flowers as anything else.
In the meantime, for those who have read about my husband, he will be facing fix-it surgery, next month, I hope. It has been a long and tough year of recovery to even 45% of where he was. Let's hope the surgery will improve things a bit more. We'll see and will keep you posted here.
