It looks like our fall has finally arrived! Right now I am rejoicing about the change in weather… There are some negatives that go along with a cooler and wetter climate, but those are pretty minor for me (right now.) I just like to be reminded that there are four seasons to our year, and what better way than cold, wet rain.
(Unfortunately, our dog has a lot of allergies… which means that I have my work cut out for me at this time of the year. One year, when I wasn’t particularly diligent, she developed an infection in one of her paws that required several trips to the emergency, after-hour veterinary clinic, not to mention several trips to our vet during office hours.)
Anyway…. Is there any better way to pass a dreary October day than reading a wonderful cozy mystery? I am guessing that cozy-mystery-book-reading is pretty much at the top of most of our lists for days like this one. Unfortunately, I am sitting here blogging while waiting for a visit from the plumber. Yes, indeed! Not a great way to spend what I consider our first official day of fall. However, since my husband nor I know how to fix our plumbing problem, here I sit… waiting.
I guess that technically, I could be spending my waiting time reading my current cozy mystery… Great thought! I think I’ll do just that. And probably, as soon as I get to a cliff-hanging moment in the book… the doorbell will ring. Oh well, maybe that’s what I should have done to begin with… Who knows, if I had been enjoying my current M. C. Beaton novel, the plumber could have already arrived!
I happen to be someone who loves beads. I don’t actually make any wearable things out of beads, but I love to look at all types of beads. I do happen to be someone who cross stitches, and a few years ago, I started adding the little, bitty glass beads into all of my cross stitch projects. I have to admit that since I started this web site… devoted to another passion I have (cozy mysteries!)… I have not cross stitched/beaded (for a lack of a better descriptive phrase) as much as I used to.
This entry includes the mystery books whose authors include some type of needlework as a theme:
