Thank you ;-)
I am nervous about...Howdy, Captain!<br /><br />Thank you ;-)<br /><br />I am nervous about the snakes. The fact that we have at least one Bull snake hanging around is small consolation, considering the amount of rattlers he might be defending us from - yikes. <br /><br />I'm guessing the bats don't like their wings constricted by hard surfaces (?).<br /><br />Have a terrific week!diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-68086578054514989122020-09-20T15:42:16.206-06:002020-09-20T15:42:16.206-06:00Hi Shady!

Claustrophobe that I am, I wasn't sorry to cut the visit short ;-)<br /><br />Nice "September Song" by the Magnificent Men. I don't think I've heard it before. Are you related to Max? The song my sister suggested is "September Morn" by Neil Diamond. You might say it's been a little like "diamond rain" for me of late, as Neil's crooning of a song I'd all but forgotten sounds uncannily like my father.<br /><br />I'll be by to visit soon, my friend.<br />Have a great week!diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-75267126046667379062020-09-19T14:37:27.599-06:002020-09-19T14:37:27.599-06:00Thanks, Hilary!Thanks, Hilary!diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-60426537383637538702020-09-19T06:39:04.993-06:002020-09-19T06:39:04.993-06:00Congratulations!

Especially in Arizona, where you know they are rattlesnakes.<br />Interesting the bats won't land to drink.Alex J.

With the first Wednesday of the month several weeks away, I was curious to read your post and find out what's going on. It was late, however, and so I decided to sleep on it. I hope I didn't get it wrinkled. :) <br /><br />Arriving first thing in the morning, I have discovered that congratulations are in order because September is "Shameless Promotion Month" <br /> :) and your new YA mystery book Sapphire Tides, has gone to market. I agree with Hilary that you picked an intriguing title, and the cover art further enhances the sense of mystery and excitement. The blurb has me interested because I am enamored of beach towns.<br /><br />While it has been too dry out West, here in Florida we are experiencing what I believe is the wettest summer on record. Our property has deep puddles that remain in place week after week, preventing the lawn guy from doing his job. He will soon need to use a machete instead of a mower to hack his way through the jungle. I wish it would rain diamonds! <br /><br />Mrs. Shady and I enjoyed visiting the show cave at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and studying the 17 species of bats that inhabit the park.<br /><br />I would say that my favorite September song is just that - the pop standard "September Song" - as covered by my hometown heroes The Magnificent Men on their album The World of Soul.<br /><br />I wish you all the best with your new book, dear friend diedre. Enjoy your weekend and I hope to see you again soon!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887100141814372022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782231935569058555.post-20008286174944607902020-09-19T01:25:36.473-06:002020-09-19T01:25:36.473-06:00Hi Diedre - congratulations ... love the name Sapp...Hi Diedre - congratulations ... love the name Sapphire TIdes - good luck with it .
