The Fifth Season – N. K. Jemisin

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

It took me a little while to get into this book, because it’s not a happy story (and I’m having a hard time dealing with not happy lately), but Jemisin’s never steered me wrong, so I kept at it, and I’m glad I did. There are three interweaving stories in a far future Earth, where […]

Pink Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium acuale

Weekly Wildflowers – Donnell Pond, Franklin, ME

Wayside Flowers, Woodland / Megan

It’s been a great year for lady’s slippers – there were more of them where I usually find them, and I found some at Mackworth Island, where I’ve never found them before.   But this was by far the best patch I’ve seen this year.   Conveniently located just past the kayaks at my dads’ camp.
