Spring is always full of serious storms here in north central Oklahoma. The Native Americans used to say that the Stillwater area was sacred ground and that tornadoes and really severe weather did not touch here often. Severe weather coming at us from the southwest often diverts northward or eastward just west of town. Occasionally, we do get large hail, bad lightning storms, and...yes...a tornado! The terrain around Stillwater has a lot to do with it...and no small amount of good fortune!
This week we got a LOT of rain in Stillwater! The house is dry but our yards are swampy! Yeah, no need to water the lawns. But...and this is a BIG but...we're only going to a have a couple of dry days before more rain. By the time everything dries out and I can do some mowing...it's gonna be DEEP!
The trip to and from Camden and Arkadelphia went very smoothly. I think we got Gary's stuff loaded up in record time this go around. It helped that he'd disassembled his TV stand and had everything boxed up ready to go. We had rain while driving there but nice weather coming home!
The new e-novel (Arizona State Guard: Target Terror) is coming along nicely. The edits are going super-smooth with just the right amount of corrections and additions. I've got a really good handle on the characters, who they are, and how they act. Once I get done with this blog post, I expect to get one chapter (possibly two!) edited tonight. I also need to spend some time working on the Glossary that Jimmy Badgett suggested for my books.

Going the route of so many other authors who love to have their picture taken with their pet for their "About the Author" part of their books. Here are Remi and I hamming it up for the camera!

So if you're experiencing the lovely Spring weather we're having this year, stay safe! If you weather is peaceful, stay safe anyway!
