Welcome, Sprinter, The Confused Season

It it Spring? It was 75° F. yesterday afternoon. Or is it Winter—it's 40° F. with a fierce north wind this morning.

My roses, azaleas, and plumbago are definitely confused. If they talked amongst themselves, they'd probably be saying, "My flowers are freezing their buns off." 

Spring? Winter? Welcome to Sprinter. Yes, here in Texas, we have 2 seasons colliding. 

In the morning, it's Winter, and after noon, it's spring, thus, Sprinter, the Confused Season. 

I'm supposed to be writing on the new book, but I've been engrossed in helping Darling Hubby design the workshop/art studio he wants to build as an addition to our garage.

Since I'm not an architectural drafter or a graphic artist, it's taken me a while to get the plans drawn up. That's my part of the project. Today we send off the plans and application to our HOA for approval.

Now, I can get back to the romantic comedy I'm writing. I should finalize the cover this week. That's taken some thought. While I was thinking about that, I did create a new cover for April Fool Bride. That's live now, and that book is on sale. I hope you'll take a look at it and tell me what you think about the new cover.

Reviews from B&N

Even though it's not sold on B&N' now because it's in Kindle Unlimited, here are a couple of reviews from readers there.

“I read a lot of books, but I only write a review on the ones I love. I thoroughly enjoyed April Fool Bride. 5 Stars!!” —Reader Review

 “The best thing about a Joan Reeves romance is that the characters come alive, making you feel what they feel.” —Nook Review

Oh, I also put up A+ Content on the Amazon book page for April Fool Bride, and I'd love to know what you think of it.

ENJOY SPRINTER

Now, I'm goint to bundle up, brave the pseudo winter weather, and go outside to work on the new "bulb" bed I'm installing on the west side of the yard next to the fence. 

I'm thinning the overcrowded purple iris bed to populate the new bulb bed. I'll probably bookend the new bed with red amaryllis, but I haven't decided yet what to plant as the background. Any suggestions?
