#HumpDay – Getting an Early Dose of Spring

Monday’s weather here in NJ was a blessing! It was so warm I was able to drive around with the top down on my 20- year-old Sebring convertible. Keeps me going until Spring arrives, but just in case, today we’re doing a visit to Longwood Gardens for their annual orchid show and next week, my birthday week, it’s a visit to the Philadelphia Flower Show. Woo hoo! But for today’s Hump Day, I’m leaving you with some photos from fabulous Dearborn Market Orchid Show. I went there with friends and we had a great time checking out all the amazing flowers. I even bought one orchid plant and am hoping I won’t kill it. LOL! If it survives and flowers I’ll share some photos with you!

Tuesday Travels Philly Flower Show & Monaco

I am so excited about the current WIP, TO CATCH A PRINCESS. It is moving along so well and I’m having a blast with it. Only sad part is that I’ve never been to Monaco and so I can’t include any real life experience for you. It looks like such a fabulous place and it’s been on my Bucket List for a while, so hopefully I’ll get there one day.

Right now I’m working on a scene where the hero whisks away the heroine to his family’s villa just outside of Eze, a small town in France. The roads in this area are kind of risky and curvy and with this being a romantic suspense, you just know there has to be some kind of speeding car scene! I won’t say more and ruin it for you.

Here’s a shot of what some of the roads in the area look like! A sure bet for a wild ride.

But now for some more mundane travel right around the corner from home: Philadelphia. I love the city and of course, the annual flower show! This year it was really nice. The theme was Britain and there were some beautiful gardens and flowers to see and smell.

Here are some of my favorite shots. You can see more by clicking here.
