Happy Independence Day!
Hello Friends!
Happiest 4th of July to all of you. The 4th of July has always felt like the real official beginning of summer to me. We stop serving dinner at my work for July and August, so the kitchen is usually quiet. Now that work has quieted down I can spend more time working in the garden. Our community garden plot is starting to get that wonderful full feeling. I love to stop by in the early mornings to see all the changes--there is something new to see every day. I take A LOT of pictures of the garden and post them on Instagram--here is a picture of my newest bloom, the snapdragon!

This summer has been defined by the due date of my second book--July 31st. We are headed to a small beach town in Rhode Island after the 4th, where I will be focused on finishing the draft for my editor. I'm really excited about the book. It takes place back in Guthrie, Vermont, but has all new characters. The main character is the owner of the Miss Guthrie Diner. More updates soon!
I'm also getting ready to launch the paperback edition of The City Baker's Guide to Country Living, which comes out on November 9th. I am totally in love with the cover. I love the original cover too-but the paperback cover is so Vermonty. And the colors! Here is where you can sneak a peek:

I have all sorts of fun ideas about how I would like to celebrate the paperback, and most of them revolve around BAKE-OFFS. APPLE PIE BAKING CONTESTS.I cannot express how excited I am about this.
To celebrate the year anniversary of the book's original publication, I am giving away 5 signed, first edition copies of The City Baker's Guide on Goodreads, starting on July 9th. Maybe you would like an extra copy to give to a friend? Or maybe one to donate to a little free library? Here is the link if you would like to enter:

What i'm reading: So excited to dig into Mackenzie Lee's YA romp The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue!
What i'm watching: The Great British Baking Show, of course. Did you know that if you are a PBS member you can stream ALL OF THE EPISODES? Plus all the British costume dramas and awesome documentaries you can take? It's the best $60 I have ever spent.
random cheer: For my birthday, back in April, we traveled up to a farm in Maine where they let you hold the baby goats. This is my idea of paradise. I can barely stand having to wait until next spring to do it again.

Someday I will have a goat farm. Someday.
Cheeriest summer to you all! I hope your holiday is filled with friends, spectacular fireworks, grilled foods of your choosing, and, of course, pie.
