Sizzling Summer and Giraffes

 

Volume 19 Issue 9, September 2022

What's New in September?

Getting ready for the fall! So many days of 90+ temperatures has me thinking that Autumn will soon be here, or at least, wishing it was. The tropics have been a bit on the quiet side, so I will take that as a good thing. September is our peak month for hurricanes here in Florida, so anything is possible.

As for things that I have accomplished, those can all be counted on one hand. The hand that I had surgery on. It is still not comfortable enough for me to hold tools for long, so I have been concentrating of writing more than I am on designing jewelry, beads and canes. I think my hand needs the extra rest.

On the other side, I have done a lot of writing, and there are two finished first draft manuscripts, and a novella in the works. I count myself lucky that I am able to finish the pieces the first time, but going back seems to be a bit daunting, so I just raise more monarchs and take photos. Our last release was 13, and those were mostly girls. Hmmm.

We went to the zoo.

Julie
