When Everything is Just Right

There are days when everything is just right. Here's one of them.

Blue sky.

Perfect 80 degree temperature.

A breeze stirring across a field of poppies.

And I have the chance to be there.

The desert treated me like a queen this trip.




If you have a minute here's a short video of a few flowers that survive desert cold in winter and desert heat in summer for this one perfect time in spring. The contrast between the rock and the petals has to inspire poetry or at least a novel, right? Now it's back to work. Oh. And I had some good news right after this field of poppies and I parted company. My second novel will be published this fall.
