Despite the persistent snow, much of it has been melting away lately. However, it's a beautiful, blessedly dry day, and I'm taking in the view of the neighbor's pond sparkling in the sunshine as I type this.

This week, the pastures have been teeming with robins, and we were visited by a couple of killdeer (the type of bird pictured) as they continued their migratory journey, .

Unfortunately, a few days ago, our beloved turkey (who has been disabled since surviving an attack a couple of years ago) got her bad foot stuck in the coop fencing. When we discovered her, she was in a pitiable state, and we had to clean and bandage her up before settling her in the hay stall where she stayed for a couple of days until she recovered.

On a happier note, Joe managed to capture an endearing moment between our two German Shepherds (see picture below) as they held hands. Although they occasionally pretend they don't get along, this picture tells a different story.

away from both churches it caused their families to disown them for a time. Thankfully, they’ve since smoothed things over and all is calm. For the most part anyway.”

The waitress set their milkshakes down and took their orders.
Amy took a sip. “Are you serious? Their families disowned them?”

“Aye, sometimes religious folk are more concerned wi' traditions than they are wi' God. To them, my parents raising us away from their churches was a betrayal, but all this is in the past. Yer asking questions about my heritage to avoid discussing coming wi' me to Scotland.”

“Fine. Let’s discuss it.” She furrowed her brow. “As much as I want an explanation for why you asked Zach to give me time off for a trip to Scot-land, I don’t know if I’m prepared to hear the reason.”

“I hoped ye micht consider coming along as my bride.”

She choked on her milkshake. “We’re not married.”

He pulled out a ring box. “We kin fix that.”

She opened her mouth to speak but closed it again to keep herself from saying something she might regret.

Well folks, I'm in the thick of it. I'm a firm believer that everything I set out to do should be done for the glory of God, and I've set a lofty goal to write 3,000 words a day to hit my April 1st deadline, so if you could spare a prayer or two to help me reach that finish line, I'd be ever so grateful.

     I'm staying fueled on Girl Scout cookies (good thing I bought that elliptical trainer for myself). Thankfully, the words are flowing, but not as quickly as I'd like. I've made some changes to the storyline that I think you'll love! I can hardly wait to share this book with all of you. In fact, I'm hoping it'll be my best one yet. But it's back to the keyboard I go. Thanks for your continued support!

Rocky Mountain Pursuit is a gripping book that is an absolute must-read for fans of romantic suspense. From nonstop action to heart-racing suspense, it's got everything you could want in a thrilling read. Although I did make the mistake of reading it out of order, so I missed out on the full impact of the big reveal, I still think it's a fantastic choice for anyone in search of a gripping, suspenseful story. Make sure to start with this one before moving on to Deadly Memories.

As promised, Here is my review for the next one in this series: Deadly Memories. This Love Inspired Suspense novel is a remarkable piece of writing. From the onset, the story gripped my attention, and I found it hard to put down. Although my first time reading Mary Alford's work, I was thoroughly impressed, and I look forward to exploring her other books. The author's ability to seamlessly integrate heart-wrenching trauma with suspenseful action scenes and heartwarming romance is a testament to her exceptional writing skills. Overall, a phenomenal read that I highly recommend.
