Richmond homeschool convention

We hope to see a lot of you this weekend at the huge homeschool convention at the Science Museum. Tabby House will have a booth and I'll be autographing and discussing my books. Homeschools tell me how valuable the books are because they combine literature and history, and sometimes a little science. Parents like the discussion questions and activities available through the teacher's guides. See you there!

Bailey Fish book 7

There's been a big delay in blogging. We've been moving, painting, cleaning and setting up libraries and computers. And, I've been working on book 7 and trying to keep my 20-pound cat, Rover, from typing his own chapters. He's got a paw on the keyboard right now, so you may get a strange message. Spring is wonderful in Virginia, especially on the days it isn't raining. Bailey and Sugar planted tomatoes before we did, and their beets and lettuce are already up. We planted many types of squash, tomatoes, parsnips, and asparagus, but that won't be ready to eat for three years. Our new yard is surrounded by trees and I feel like I'm wearing a cloak of green when I step outside. It's wonderful. Will be glad when it gets warmer and stays warmer. Now, back to work on book 7.
