We had a long drive back and forth to Gloversville so we listened to an audio book my friend loaned me, “The 13th Hour” by Richard Doetsch. His writing style reminded me a little like Dean Koontz.
It took me a little while to get into this book. However, I am glad I stuck it out. The concept is interesting. The chapters go in reverse. The book starts with the main character, Nick Quinn, being held in jail for murdering his wife. There is a nice amount of evidence against him. An elderly gentleman enters the jail and speaks to Nick. The gentleman asks him if given a chance, would he save his wife. He gives Nick a watch that will allow him to go back in time, one hour at a time for a total of 12 hours. Each time he goes back he alters things in the future, some by mistake. Stick it out like I did and enjoy.
The other audio book I just finished was “The Bone Bed” by Patricia Cornwell. If you are a fan of Patricia Conwell’s character, Kay Scarpetta, then you will like this book. If you have never read any of the books with this character it’s a good place to start.
A woman vanished while digging a dinosaur bed in a remote part of Canada. The only evidence has made it’s way to the Chief Medical Examiner, Kay Scarpetta’s, office in Boston. Kay finds a connection between the woman in Canada and several other crimes close to Boston. Cornwell brings back all of her favorite characters in this series…her niece, Lucy, her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and of course her husband, Benton Wesley. You will be in for an exciting ride.

Joe took these photos on March 25th. I thought I’d share them with you. We have a lot of bluebirds that live in our area. Maybe because Joe feeds them worms on a regular basis. Anyway, I don’t think they were too happy about out late snow.
My poor crocuses were not happy either.
Until next week…..
