Summer flowers . . .

Summer flowers from my walks recently. Who can resist taking a picture when you see something so beautiful?

Thanks for stopping by . . .

Liking to write almost as much as I enjoy taking digital photos, this is the perfect place for me. I hope that my visitors will enjoy both as well.

JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.

Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.

Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!

Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.

pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.

I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.

Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.

When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!

Found a few of them!

"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."

"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."

"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."

"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "

"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "

There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!

These are the titles of her books:

Dark Torte

Double Shot

The Last Suppers

Dying For Chocoalte

Killer Pancake

The Ceral Murders

The Grilling Season

Tough Cookie

Sticks and Scones

Chopping Spree

Catering To Nobody

The Main Corpse

Prime Cut
