The progression of winter is rather beautiful. Even with the now frozen lake, shoveling and -14C overnight temperatures. If you've got the right clothes, being out in this is invigorating!

Played hooky this morning and went for a meander around the property. There's nothing like Mother Nature to ground you and make your smile. I will never take this for granted. Being able to breath clean air is a blessing. The mosquitoes ... that's another story!

There's nothing like an early morning walk, even if it's only 6C and you need to bundle up against the wind! Have a good one everybody!

Sometimes Mother Nature throws you a delightful morning view. When I came upon the duck, I stood for a minute enjoying the scene, then grabbed my camera to record it. Because some mornings aren't as lovely, and I might need a reminder that they will be so again! Hope you all have a good one.

I'm heading into a new aspect of writing my fiction novels - learning to draw a map of Percyville for my latest book. Even though I've got a rough sketch, I want to make something interesting, sized properly, and interesting to look at.

Wish me luck!

Writing genealogy mysteries means getting the history right! I spend a lot of time digging into old records, newspapers, and court documents to make sure the details in my books are as accurate as possible. I found a story about a missing heir who didn't want to be found. Idea for a future book?

Fascinating real-life discoveries have found their way into my books. I heard about a family who inherited a locked trunk that hadn’t been opened in decades. Inside, were letters revealing a long-lost love story. That idea became the foundation for one of my plots!
What have you discovered?

Sometimes the cold clean of snow is the best cleanser for things that bother you. Especially when you're inside, sitting by a wood stove reading a good book! #bookthreads bethfarrar.com
