Oliver is sitting on top of my full spectrum drawing light tonight, warming his various parts and wondering about Snow Days. He’s not really embracing the concept of a city brought to a halt by the biggest snow storm ever! He spends a little time each day sunning himself on a tall fencepost, watching for the book delivery truck from the Great White North, where the books are being printed. That we are excited about our book delivery is a huge understatement. Soon, soon, soon!!!!!!!
Our first plan of action when the books arrive is a reading , in our gazebo, to a few of the younger members of The Kid’s Advisory Board, Avalon, Jude & Caiden. I’m planning on filming it and will share it if the Board Members are cooperative. Kids move almost as fast as anoles, so, we’ll see.
I have been busy with the Oliver sequel, due to be completed in fall, “Oliver Anole & the WildGrasshopper Rodeo”. I am amazed that I’m having even more fun on this book! It’s a little bit like when I couldn’t imagine ever loving anyone as much as I loved my first child, until the day I had my second one (and 3rd and 4th) (and grandchildren!).
I see Oliver rolling his eyes just a bit & tapping his small foot on the lamp shade where he is still perched. Back to the drawing board. There are tales to tell.
