We are enjoying a burst of warm weather this week. It was 53°f (12°c) yesterday. It’s still dipping below freezing at night, so whatever melts during the day but doesn’t evaporate freezes again. It’s been so cold for so long the the ground is frozen. That means it won’t absorb the melt water. Sidewalks that are clear and wet during the afternoon become skating rinks overnight and aren’t safe until late morning. Still, I’ve been housebound for too long, so:
I have walked each morning for four days since Sunday!
My excitement for One-Liner Wednesday
One of my walks was cut short when I found the sidewalks untenable and patches of black ice on the sides of the roads. The freeze-thaw cycles have a smoothing effect on the snow piles. We have a few more days in the 50s coming and some “warm” rain is forecast on Thursday. Hopefully the ground will be able to absorb that and the snow that it melts. If not, we’re going to have a lake in the back yard.
Being able to walk allowed me to get some pictures at the park.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
