Scotland – Stirling Castle, Stirling
On our way up to Inverness, we stopped at Stirling Castle. Got there at opening, at which point it was pouring rain. This visit really was the perfect example of Scottish weather – by the time we left, it was gorgeously sunny. That’s probably best illustrated by the two pictures below, which are views of

Scotland Wildflowers – Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh
This is admittedly a very random place to be for an out of town visitor, but our friend works here, and knew about a trail that she knew would have wildflowers. (Isn’t it grand to have friends that look out for your interests?) And it’s the perfect distance away from the airport to be a

Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments – T. L. Huchu
When I was picking some plane reading, I remembered I had this book in a series set in Edinburgh. Sure, it’s an alternate history Edinburgh with magic, after some sort of catastrophe that’s set back the lives of a lot of the citizens, but it’s Edinburgh!

Embroidery Notes
I’ve finished the fourth chart of Boreas. Not that it’s super obvious, but this is the first chart that actually touches the woman in the painting. What’s a little more obvious is it was a whole lot of black. Which was a little annoying on the top, because I miscounted the gap at the top,
Garden Notes
Planting out is done. Thankfully, everything got through the nor’easter on Thursday intact, and I’ve filled up the rest of the back bed. I do still need to move the dahlias out of the greenhouse – I’ll do that tomorrow. I can then move that over the brassicas, and switch it over to the net
Witches Get Stuff Done – Molly Harper
This is a fun book – Riley’s summoned up to an island in Michigan to meet her aunt – the sister of her mother, who recently passed away. She’s hoping to learn more about her mother, but when she gets there, her aunt has already passed away. But she’s left messages behind, because Riley is
