PiBoIdMo is only a month away

There are a few things that I look forward to every autumn. The sweltering heat of summer has been replaced with brisk mornings and comfortable afternoons. Trees are putting on their yearly celebration of color. Fresh, crisp apples and cider are available everywhere lending their comforting perfume to the air. Sculpting pumpkins for our Halloween porch display is a favorite October endeavor. By the end of October I'm excited for the November start of PiBoIdMo (Picture Book Idea Month) and NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which makes November a very busy month indeed! Thanks to my friend, Melanie Linden Chan, posting about PiBoIdMo on her blog and Facebook, I'm already feeling the anticipation!
