How did we get to the halfway mark of November already? See, the month is flying by again. At least I didn't have any illness or medical drama this week. LOL
I caught some television but not much. Watched several more episodes of Silent Witness. I'm happy to have the opportunity to see how Leo and Harry were introduced. I originally started watching the show sometime around season nine, I think.
I also spent a fair amount of time catching up on laundry and watched a few episodes of Blue Heelers. The new guy is finally starting to grow on me.
I also caught my usual mystery shows on Ovation and did a brief dive into classic Perry Mason. I've been in the mood for mysteries lately.
That's pretty much it for television this week. Tonight's post is Harvest Haven, an Organic Nature sexy short.
Here's the mini-blurb:
The harvest season is a busy time for Eppie, but with their future set, she and Vin celebrate their life surrounded by family and friends. The couple takes the long weekend to recharge and bask in their brand of love.
And a snippety peek…
Vin ran his palm over the rustic
chest he'd made for Eppie. "I think she's gonna love this."
Unvarnished walnut, but smooth as silk, the gift would be part of set with a
mirror, armoire, and bench.
He planned to finish the other
items over the downtime during the colder months. The week spent with his crew
gave them lots of time to brainstorm a brilliant idea. They were branching out
to make custom furniture and setting up a co-op to share in the profits.
Greg Rhodes pulled out the
ticking material fashioned into a huge gift bag. "She'll more than love
the chest. She'll go nuts over it." He waved the material back and forth.
"And this. I've been around long enough now to know she'll find at least a
dozen ways to use this for Organic Nature."
Vin grinned. "Yeah, no
doubt."
The ticking had been Dani's idea
and Vin found some with blue and orange stripes. Emily pieced the yardage
together and with a few simple snips, the bag could be used as a quilt. She'd
added cotton batting to make sure the edges of the trunk were protected.
Greg lifted one end of the heavy
wooden chest. "Let's get this covered and I'll load it in the truck."
Vin frowned. "You're gonna
need some help. It's a two-person job."
Greg hand-waved. "Got it
covered. You don't get to see your vehicle until we're ready to head over to
Eppie's." His lips curved in a smirk.
Vin shook his head. "I'm
gonna hate what you guys did, aren't I?" He slid the bag over, making sure
it didn't catch on the legs.
Greg shot him an innocent look.
"I make no claim on helping. I'm just the hall monitor here." He
lifted the other end then took over, pulling the rust-colored calico drawstring
closed.
Vin laughed. "Honestly, I
don't care. As long as it gets me where I need to go." He'd waited a long
time to celebrate finding Eppie and sharing their love with everyone they cared
about.
Greg crossed over to the door and
rapped twice.
It opened and Deke Malone stuck
his head in. "Is it ready?"
Greg nodded and Deke entered with
Mark Barnett. They picked up the chest and carried it out. Both men made a show
of almost dropping it when they crossed the threshold. The whole week had been
filled with that kind of fun. Vin wouldn't trade it for anything, even though
he originally hated the idea.
Greg quickly shut the door behind
them then jerked his head toward the entrance to the house. "Time to get
moving. You gotta go first so there's plenty of time for the anticipation to
build and the nerves to kick in." He waggled his eyebrows.
Vin rolled his eyes. "I'm
not gonna be nervous. As long as Eppie is in that grove when I get there, I'm
more than ready." He slapped Greg on the shoulder.
Greg tsked. "Whatever you
say, man. I'll check back and see if you feel the same way about five minutes
before we leave."
His laughter followed Vin into
the house.
This series of sexy
shorts is such a joy to write. I'm excited to dive back into it and hopefully
get rolling on monthly releases.
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
