Flowers and Jade

More flowers arrived yesterday from my fabulous publishers, Harlequin–along with a beautiful jade plant for my birthday.  Flowers always make me happy.  🙂  I’m thrilled with the plant, too, because I can keep that going.  My Harlequin family spoils me shamelessly–I like that in a publisher.  🙂
I’m listening to a book called “The Gifts of Crows”, and it’s absolutely fascinating.  I knew crows and magpies were smart, but I had no idea HOW smart.  Wow.  Look for a talking crow to show up in one of my future books.  🙂  Charles Dickens had a pet crow and loved him so much that when the bird died, he had it stuffed and kept it nearby for inspiration.  I don’t think I’d go that far.  🙂
I’m off to Parable to write.
More tomorrow.
