There is definitely a chill in the air, so I am sharing this......
We are having a cold front, a little over a month earlier than expected.
I am a bird watcher from birth, and have always lived near a river. The birds I have watched for years migrate following the river.
So even though I knew it is supposed to be August, I watched for the birds to sound off as they flew over moving away for the Winter.
Yesterday they began to do this. It makes me chilled.
The birds have old ways, but these are younger birds, instinct kicking in from their ancestors and strength enough to make the trip. It is an exciting thing to hear the birds prepare for Winter's harsh realities and it makes me get out the sweaters and woolly blankets myself.
I am sending you a little video I made for Fall. I thought I would share this a little early myself.

A HEADS UP TO THE UPCOMING FRIDAY THE 13th, the only
one for the remainder of the Year 2018.
I
read an interesting article about this Friday being a Friday the 13th
day. There really should be such notices at times, and especially this being
the last event of its kind for the year.
Superstitious
people, here is the low down on some of the history and how this got its
reputation, if you know what I mean.
Actually,
Friday has always had its share of bad vibes, since for some reason at one time
it was considered the time to hang someone. It is considered not only the sixth
day of the week, but it also has some good days.
But
according to my sources, for the superstitious, it is considered an unlucky day
and has a very long history in the public’s mind because the execution of
criminals sentenced to death for some reason was set for Friday and this was
done so much it became known in the very olden days as “hangman’s day.”
Of
course, my source for this is old, very old, but when I tried to look it up in
a Modern Dictionary, I could not even find Friday the 13th at all.
Maybe
people are just not as superstitious as they used to be. Maybe no one believes
it is bad luck to walk under an open ladder, or let a black cat cross your
path. But I can remember when people would warn each other, “Uh oh,” they would
say, “Friday is FRIDAY THE 13TH!
Some
would squib at this point, “Well, I won’t come to work that day then, you will
find me hiding under my bed.”
SO,
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO STILL GREET THIS NEWS WITH A SHIVER, I PRESENT THIS LITTLE
NOTICE.

A NOTE ABOUT G.I. Joe story
WRITING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU KNOW: THE IMPORTANCE OF A MOMENT
IN TIME
By Romance Novelist Anna Patterson
It is kind of funny in a philosophical way that someone
outside tonight is shooting a few firecrackers off. They are days ahead of the
July 4 Celebrations but firework stands can sale these a few days ahead. Also,
it is against the law to shoot them in the city limits, but obviously, it
happens.
Tonight, I just can’t get something off of my mind, so I
decided instead to get something off of my chest as we say in slang language.
Years ago, I got a chance to join what was called “a Think
Tank”, we talked about problems we felt might be resolved to the benefit of
many people. I got to choose between being on one of two committees, and I
chose to be on the committee trying to begin a community dental clinic for
anyone who needed this. The other committee was one which would try to alleviate
homelessness. I didn’t know anything about this second one, and felt the dental
clinic was probably the most pressing need.
I am not going to even try to determine how many years ago
that experience was.
I do know that when I got the chance to write a fan short
novel with the G. I. Joe character something made me want to make my own G. I.
Joe a soldier who had wrestled with homelessness. He also had been a combat
soldier.
I saw a story or two about soldiers similar to this at times
on the news, but I had missed my chance to do something about it years ago, now
I was getting a second chance to try to do some good about something which I
knew was actually shockingly true, homeless veterans.
I argued with myself for some time feeling that this was
rather a sad story just by me choosing to do this, but I saw my chance and I
took it.
During my own birthday month, I saw my G. I. Joe: Vagabond
Soldier published as a short story in the Kindle World. All thirty-seven pages
were published April 30, 2014.
I dedicated this story to the people of all branches of service
striving daily to provide excellence in all things they do.
Somewhere near the end of the story the soldier’s friend,
Duke, admits he is proud when the vagabond soldier, a fallen soldier, gets up
to fight for what he believes in one more time.

A HEADS UP OF AN ENDING OF SOME VAMPIRE BOOKS OF MINE
By Romance Novelist Anna Patterson
Many years ago because I am such a fan of The Vampire Diaries Television Show I was intrigued to find fans could try their hands at writing a short story utilizing these characters famous for years.
So I did this.
Now on about July 16, 2018 just a few weeks away, the Kindle World will end publishing these Worlds on Amazon. I for one will have many fond memories concerning these Worlds and the Website will go down in August.
I decided to share a few thoughts with my fans about these books which became a reality much to my own delight.
SHARING A LINK TO EACH THIS LAST TIME....
So, In no certain order, I am sending you a link to the books I have written as part of this exciting venture into the world of the Vampire!
