We’ve had nearly two inches of rain in two days and guess what? It’s raining again today. But at least it isn’t snowing. Monday we had heavy snow and<\/em> rain \u2014 but we did need it. The creeks and beaver ponds were very low \u2014 like they are late August. Now they’re getting higher.<\/p>\n

The cover of my newest book, Autumn of the Loons<\/em>, is in the finishing stages; the painting has been sent to the publisher and I’ve got it back. Guess what? You readers can decide on the print of the cover title. The publisher and I can’t make up our minds which color print we like best so he suggested we let readers vote and help us make the decision. If you’d like to help, too, and go to the Jess Hazzard Series Facebook page ( https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JessHazzardSeries<\/a>) and you can cast your vote so it’ll get done. Then it’s off to the printers and we’ll have it finished. The blog photo is of the cover painting to give you some idea of what we have. Please check out the Facebook page!<\/p>\n

Friday, I’m heading for Montana again. Another fast trip to pick up our adopted son Javid’s handicap accessible van which has been in storage over winter. He sure misses having “wheels.” It hasn’t run for a year so we’re hauling it back on a car hauler behind David’s pickup truck. David is now building log homes for Voyageur Log Homes of Orr, Minnesota and can only take two days off work. So it’ll be a hurry out in one 22-hour day and night, get the van on the trailer, and then head home. Whew, I’m getting too old to do that!<\/p>\n

Will and our new apprentice, Krystal, will man the homestead while I’m gone. I’m hoping we have a relatively easy trip without any break-downs. I’ll be glad to have it done so I can get back to homesteading and planting! We’ll be taking the van down to my oldest son Bill’s for him to go over and fix any problems before we drive it up for Javid to use. He doesn’t drive but friends often drive for him on shopping or fun trips. He misses that.<\/p>\n

If I miss my blog post on Monday, we’re still on the road. I’ll post as soon as we’re home! I promise. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
