Indian Summer, Come and Gone

[tinhuviel]

The days are pleasant and the nights are wonderfully crisp, cool enough you can see your breath as you shudder and pull your flannel closer around you. I love weather like this. It's so rare in South Carolina but, in the mountains of North Carolina, there is an abundance of blessed days such as this. We're supposed to go to Asheville later on this month to meet up with falkenna, janalyson, and paulpearson23. clumsycake and Diane will probably go with us. I'm also going to Malaprops and talk to them about selling my book and possibly arranging a book signing. I think they'll be excited that they're mentioned in The Chalice. I wish I could have extended that scene, but I think it works the way it is. So I am looking forward to a trip to a beautiful place that will be at the height of its painting-perfect pique, meeting up with good friends, and attempting to exude some enthusiasm about the book to the manager of Malaprops. We don't know the date yet but, when we do, I'm sure I'll get all excited about it, dreaming of that crisp, clean Autumn mountain air.

sorry to be so weather-ignorant, but just how cold does it get there? Do you get lots of snow? In Detroit, it fluctuates, but it hasn't been VERY bad for a while.

We're lucky to get one good snow (5-8"), but are more prone to get ice storms. Those are rare too. An average Winter day runs about 50 or so degrees.

...that still doesn't sound like fun weather. Here, it gets cold, about 40 and below, around early November and stays that way until late about April. Like Skanky on "Forever Knight", I HATE WINTER!

LOL, good ole Skanky!

Good good (re Malaprops). They always seem to have a Local Author display, so don't forget to tell them you were born there and consider it your home. Then they have to take it! :-)

See you soon! :-D
