Silver Demon is OUT!

I am so thankful that the book is done and finally available! Here's the final version of the cover:

SUMMARY:

 

Plunged into a demon filled world, Diana must come to terms with an existence geared toward defending humans. Diana’s dreams have shown her the way to destroy them with silver. But her dreams have also shown her Alexander—a demon she has hated…and loved…through the ages. Now Alex has followed her to Springfield, and people are dying. Dare she trust him and let him into her life?

An aggravating vice principal, Internet dating, and stalking demons are just a few of the challenges facing Diana, Sam and Maggie their senior year. Join them for another adventure that will ultimately lead them back to Rome.

For me spring is the perfect time to sit outside amongst the flowers, read and enjoy a few cookies! Below is a receipe that I got from Lucy Chiesa (baker extraordinaire). They absolutely melt in your mouth.

CAKE COOKIES
1 box of Lemon Supreme Cake Mix
1 8oz tub of Cool Whip
1 egg
Powdered sugar

Beat egg, Add cake mix, and then Add cool whip

Batter will be stiff. Take a teaspoonful and roll in a ball. Then roll the ball in the powdered sugar. Place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Don't over bake otherwise they become tough. Very light and scrumptious.

Other options: Change out cake mixes. I've made chocolate and strawberry (equally scrumpdelicious).

Oh Snow!

I've always found snow beautiful, especially the way moonbeams gleam on the rolling mounds at night. But usually it's white and fluffy and I really don't think about it being crystalline structures of frozen water. But it definitely brings it to mind when you see these vintage photographs taken by Wilson Bentley in 1895. He was fascinated by snow and managed to attach a microscope to a camera and take over 5,000 photos of individual snowflakes, proving to himself (and generally everyone) that no two snowflakes are exactly alike. Now I'm fascinated, too!

 

 

 

Bentley donated over 500 of his photos to the Smithsonian. These pictures are from the Smithsonian Institution's Photostream and if you want to see more, Click Here

 

The Month of Giving: All Year Long

Christmas has come and gone but that doesn't mean that the spirit has left us. I think we get so caught up in the bells and whistles that we sometimes forget that it should be a quiet, thoughtful month. I've had time to think because I had a nasty case of the flu and had no opportunity to get out into the hustle and bustle. I'm on the tail end of it now, thankfully, and have found this wonderful idea that will allow me to keep giving throughout the year. I hope that you will share my enthusiasm for this project.

 

Help feed others--not by sending food half way around the world--but by helping to grow the food locally with local resources in an environmentally friendly way. We always see the food drives that ask for canned goods, usually by schools, but that is one time a year. Instead, here is a way to provide fresh food throughout the entire year free to those in need.

 

This group is already providing free fresh eggs to local families who otherwise would be without. Now they need a little help to get their idea for vegetables and fish off the ground. Won't you help?

Star Trek Into Darkness

I'm so excited! I really loved the most recent Star Trek film and wished they had done a follow-up. Apparently it just took them a really long time because here's the trailer for it.

Chickens Abound Part 2

Some time ago, I told you about acquiring some chickens. You can check out that post here:

http://caronrider.blogspot.com/2012/04/chickens-abound.html

To continue, I've been thrilled with the little critters so far. I started out with six, but that number was reduced during the early summer because a bobcat or coon clawed its way into the hen house through the screen door and snatched three. One just never came home one night. So I have two from the original ones I bought as chicks, and then I went out and bought four more, bringing my number back up to six.

Late Blooming Bulb Work

I'm a bulb kinda gal. I'm a lazy gardener in that if a plant can't handle itself with maybe just a bit of watering, it better not be in my yard. So minimal care. Usually you can't get any more minimal than a bulb. Plant and enjoy.
