“Although Gary is a voracious reader, it has always been a struggle to get him interested in listening to chapter books. We were so fortunate to get an advance copy of {Revver The Speedway Squirrel} by Sherri Rinker. Let me tell you, Gary DEVOURED this one. Every day or night, it was, “Just one more chapter Mommy!”

Racing fans of all ages will fall in love with Revver. It’s such a delightful story about following your dreams even when the world is against you.

It’s available to pre-order now and comes out in October. Go grab a copy now!

Need to Clean!!!

As soon as this book goes to my editor, I really need to clean my office! (And, probably cut back on the caffeine.) 😳

Great Saying!

Yes!

YUMMY!

Donuts today!... a backwards photo journal! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

Beautiful!!

Dark Knight blooms late here in the Midwest, and gives the bees a treat as other flowers start to disappear.

Vintage!

My husband brought this home the other night, after visiting his mom. It belonged to his grandfather, who was a master carpenter.

AWWWW!

😴 (When parents send me photos like this... ❤️❤️❤️)

Froggies

I get the sense there’s been a bit of a spat.

Not sure what started it, but I’m on her side.

Less Than a Month!

KA-BOOM!!! 1 month and counting! FYI: If you preorder a copy, you can receive a FREE Dump Truck’s Colors board book if you fill out a short form at GoodnightConstructionSite.com

Beautiful Pink

Pink Turtlehead, Sweet Autumn clematis, hibiscus, September Charm anemone...

Beautifully telling me that summer, my season of joy, is slowly coming to a close...

Love This Cat!

I’m not even a cat person, but I just love her (them!).

Great Neighbor!

When you’re home alone on a Sunday and you’ve just finished lunch and you pour a cup of coffee and RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT, your neighbor knocks on your door and brings a slice of the most delicious cheesecake you’ve ever had...

Some Exciting Stuff!

After about six weeks, THIS is what old, slimy veggies and the grapes and berries that were forgotten in the back of the fridge and potato peels and avocado peels and eggshells and watermelon rinds and pineapple tops and coffee grounds (and filters!) and plant clippings and mowed grass and dried leaves and fireplace ash and shredded paper and sawdust (and a bunch of other stuff that would go in a landfill) have created.

This will top-dress all of my new plantings while another compost tumbler cooks away and another one is now ready for filling.

It’s kind of amazing, I think. (Humor me; please act like you think this is exciting, too!)

Great Deals!

My latest garden ornament: I found the candlestick at Goodwill for $5.99. The cement cardinal is from my local garden center (less than $20, with 20%-off sale). I’m so excited!!! 🌱 🌺 ❤️

Sweet

My husband calls her Harriett Potter.

Take A Break!

I’m taking a break. Shh! Don’t tell anyone where I am.

September 8th!

My first novel for young readers (!) debuts on September 8th and is available for preorder now. 🐿 🏁 Please check out my website SherriRinker.com to learn more.

So Cute

We can all agree that I totally needed him, right?!

Statue

My 19-yo pond-building assistant says, “It might be cool to get a small statue for the pond... like maybe Amphitrite, the goddess of water, or something cool like that.”
