Sunday Salon: A Pair of Moose!

Today was a beautiful sixty degree day. It was probably the last really warm day we will have up here in the North East until spring. So we went out for a walk in the woods. Guess what we saw?

Here they are, a pair of moose! Looked like a male and a female. They were HUGE! They just looked at us for a while, then went on their way. I was glad that I had the camera.


It rained very hard here last night, so the water was really running. Here's a stream we crossed. I love this season, everything outside is just beautiful!




So, I am a bit over halfway done with Life After Genius by M. Ann Jacoby. My review will be up on Wednesday, October 29 as part of the blog tour for Hachette Book Group (I'm hoping to have a giveaway, too, so be sure to check back on the 29th!).

Also on Wednesday the 29th I will be participating in a interview hosted by Hachette's amazing Miriam Parker. She will be interviewing Kathleen Kent, author of The Heretic's Daughter. The interview will be at 1:00 pm eastern time and you can listen here, live or at your convenience later. I'll be posting the interview here, too.

Hope you all had a wonderful late fall weekend!!

Sunday Salon

It's Fall! My favorite time of year and Columbus Day Weekend is the traditional leaf-peeping weekend here in the northeast. We could not have asked for a nicer day today, in the mid sixties and sunny with clear blue skies. Perfect.



So, while I am smack in the middle of Joseph Teller's courtroom drama, The Tenth Case (which I am liking very much, by the way) we took a two hour walk in the woods to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.





We saw lots of wildlife! A bunch of chickadees and chipmunks, two blue jays, a beaver who slapped his tail at us, a gray squirrel, Canada geese and, best of all, some teensy little frogs who were about the size of my thumb nail. They were tan with mottled brown spots and were almost completely camouflaged by the fallen leaves.



All in all, a fantastic day. I took this picture so you can see the colors. We might go on another walk tomorrow, it is supposed to be another lovely autumn day. Well, since it is dark now, back to reading!
