True to the old saying, April’s showers have brought May flowers to Wyoming. This is my favorite time here, the temperatures are mild, the days are long, the migrating birds have returned, and the landscape is being reborn with vivid colors. I hope everyone is enjoying the change in seasons.

Welcome to Spring! Last month, I took a road-trip south, giving myself a jumpstart on spring. The highlights were visits to Petrified Forest and Organ Pipe Cactus national parks. I’ve always loved the harsh beauty of the desert southwest, and the cultural resources of Petrified Forest were an added bonus. Here at home, we are seeing signs of spring, and I couldn’t be happier. Soon, my garden will be planted, the trees will have leaves, and the temperatures will be much more pleasant. I’m looking forward to getting out, exploring, and enjoying nature. I hope to share those adventures with friends, family, and fellow fans of adventure fiction and the great outdoors. If you aren’t following me already, stop by and check out any of my social media platforms (listed at the end of this post). Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful spring.

This has been one of the coldest, snowiest Wyoming winters that I can remember. As May nears and with very few temperatures getting out of the forties, I lost my patience and decided I needed to be warm for a few days and headed to Tucson, Arizona for a long weekend. The sunshine was awesome, the sites were fantastic, and I feel rejuvenated! Hopefully, spring temperatures will finally reach us in May.

Magical May I always look forward to May. The weather warms and I spend the month planning my garden and nursing the tomato and pepper plants I’ve started in the house. I usually plant outside in late-May or early-June, depending on the weather. April was a very exciting month too. My husband and I spent a few weeks in Portugal. From Lisbon, to Porto, and up the Douro River to the border with Spain, it was all amazing and we only scratched the surface. We’ve already missed a couple of days in May like National Teacher’s Day and Cinco de Mayo, but here’s what’s happening for the rest of the month. May 5 - Cinco de Mayo May 7 - Kentucky Derby Day May 8 - Mother’s Day, and VE Day-WW II May 13 - Friday the 13th May 21 - Armed Forces Day May 30 - Memorial Day   FREEBIES I noticed my publisher has one more code for a free audio download of A Taste of Tragedy.
