Great newsletter--I love the balance between books and "life!" And a HUGE Congrats on the award for Gathering Mist--very well deserved! Also especially love the Doggie Gallery, and I'll be snapping up my own copy of Hanging Falls. :)

Gorgeous photos, Margaret. I had no idea swallows would eat at a hummingbird feeder! and that's a great deal on Gathering Mist! Thanks for sharing.

Those are hummingbirds. Sorry I switched subjects mid paragraph

My mistake. As far as we can tell, the swallows eat insects. Thank you for reading the newsletter!

Oh, you're right! For some reason the profile looks like a swallow. 🐦

Thank you, Joyce. The hummingbirds give us a lot of entertainment. The feeder is outside the window in our dining area so we watch them three times per day. LoL Take care,

Margaret

Me too. Will you be there long enough to have lunch or dinner or a drink?

We'll be around afterwards. Maybe we could get a drink somewhere nearby. I'll stay in touch once I know what my family has planned. Charlie's sister and our daughter might be there, and we might need to get together with them. It's still up in the air but we'll be in touch when things come clear.🤗
