Cactus in the Snow, by Teagan R. Geneviene

Hello, my chuckaboos!  Welcome back to the #steampunk riverboat.  Many of you know that I’m way down in the desert southwest of the USA.  I’m not in the mountains, but it is still a high altitude.  We got snow this week.  I promised a couple of you a picture of “cactus in the snow,” so here’s my little cactus garden.

Now, I’m getting right to business, because I’m still working on the little Valentine’s Day project I mentioned in my midweek post.  I hope you’ll enjoy this quick episode of The Delta Pearl. 

All aboard!

Welcome back to the #steampunk riverboat, my chuckaboos!  There have been several interruptions in the voyage of The Delta Pearl during the past few months.  I appreciate you for steadfastly coming back to the riverboat dock. With that in mind, here are links from the most recent chapters.  The Delta Pearl 19 — Flirt.   The Delta Pearl 18 — Bump.   The Delta pearl 17 –Jump.  

Call for things!

This chapter’s random things from readers are cosmetics from Mary J Melange.  Also even though it was part of a comment, Kirt Tisdale mentioned help, which I thought would be a great thing. 

Speaking of random reader things, I could use more.  If you want to leave a random thing — that existed in the Victorian or Steam Era, please do so…
