I have been thinking of vincas, Kristine. They are so pretty. If they reseed, more the better!!!

After years of Florida gardening frustration, I am being rewarded this year by my vincas which, unbeknownst to me, reseed themselves like crazy. Originally had them in pots, seeds must have been carried off and now I have white and pink vincas growing by themselves in both my front and back beds. Hardy, colorful, low maintenance and free!

I am trying so hard to cut my computer time. I don’t have research as an excuse, unless I am planning a trip.

Most of the blogs I visit relate to writing historical fiction. And of course, most of them talk about their research. Then it is off on all those wonderful links (see above). I had to cut down on the blogs I do visit, because I am getting absolutely nothing done. I think it is fascinating that they has a squirrel cage style jail out West in the 1800s and that women wore platform shows quite a bit ago so their feet and clothing would stay above the mud. It is all fascinating stuff, but the laundry needs to get don, the garden weeded, and the dust bunnies chased. But the lure of finding out what they used for shampoo in 1750 Europe or the truth about England’s white slave trade involving the Irish and Scots holds much more interest. I am going to ignore the links above (but I know where to find them : )). Hmmm, I collected paper dolls when I was much younger. I bet that Regency Paper Doll interactive site would be really interesting. I will not look, I will not look, I will not look…

Thanks for an interesting post.

It varies. Sometimes it’s FB. Sometimes it’s blogs. Sometimes it’s email. Sometimes it’s Amazon. So many interesting things, and so little time.

Sounds like an enjoyable and productive time. With all I hear about these writer conferences, it is tempting to become a writer just to attend the conferences and retreats. I am sure you are looking forward to your next one.

Thanks so much, Avery! I was surprised that my “story” really contained so many references to the Retreat and WRW.

It was great to have time to spend with you! We must do lunch soon.
