This is what it looked like here the first part of the week.
This is what we’ve had for the past 4 days.

You are busy lady, Ella! Congrats to you and your contest winners! And best of luck on the book tour!
Whoot!
Fantastic news, Ella!
Those pictures are lovely.
Wishing you all the best with this next tour. I’m in the middle of trying to schedule one as well. 🙂
Congratulations, Layna!! Good luck on your blog tour!
Seriously, cover artists need to take a class in historical wear. That’s all I’m saying. Or just use head shots.
You should complain to the publishers, Liza.
You are busy, woman!!!! And its starting to get cold here…I may count my pennies & show up at your door – just a warning. 🙂 LOL
You’ve got the time, Gina. Hubby doesn’t get here until Thanksgiving.
Congrats to the winners! I know you’ll enjoy the book!
Great photos, Ella. What a beautiful place to live!
And you are going to be a busy, busy author setting Miss Anna loose on the world!
I am Louisa. Thank you for stopping by!!
Congrats on the two Christmas stories. What a thrill!
Beautiful pictures.
I was pretty pleased, Stacey!! Thank you!
As always, I love seeing your photos, Ella. Congratulations on the Christmas novellas! I can see it is going to be a busy month for you! 🙂
It is, Carol, and I need to finish at least the first draft of book #6. My deadline for the novella is Jan 15th.
Cool, I won Eileen Dryer’s Once A Rake! Can’t wait to read it. Congratulations to all the other winners of Ella’s book.
Congratulations, Sandra!!
I’m thrilled to win a copy of Desiring Lady Caro! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to read it. Congratulation to the other winners as well.
Congratulations, Pam!!
How’s my week been – a lot colder than yours and a ton of rain, but that’s autumn in Ontario. Sigh.
Cold is relative, Daryl. I’ve had my sweater on.
Been busy! I’m getting ready for Comprehensive Student Reviews this week and had the Halloween party at school last Friday. Children will be on a sugar high all week!
I’ll bet they will, Melissa! Good luck!
Lovely pictures, Ella. Here in SC, the sky is super blue and the fall colors are showing off.
Thanks, Carole. We finally have sun here today.
Congrats on your new Christmas books in the future. I think I’m the Margo who was picked for the Lady Cato book. I’m new at this. How do I get it? Best to you.
Hi Margo. Thank you. you did win the book. My publisher will not release it until the actual date in April. I’ll send you a download code for the book.
I’m so happy I won a copy of Desiring Lady Caro. I’m doing a *hapydance* LOL
I’m so glad you did as well, Mark. I use a randomizer, so I never know who will be picked.
