Warren Woods Trail – Scarborough, ME
This was Sunday’s walk. I’d been meaning to go there for a while, because they have gentians this time of year, so when my mother mentioned that our local salvage store (just a bit up the road near the mall) had scored a haul from a rather nice yarn store, this pinged my memory bank

Garden Notes
The garden’s getting into high season. It’s probably not as good as it could be – we’re still getting a lot of rain. But the peppers are no longer sulking, and I only seem to have early blight on my tomatoes (knock on wood), which is easier to deal with than late blight.
The Princess Game – Soman Chainani

This book finally goes into the details of the origins of Valdemar. We’ve known it was founded by a nobleman from the far away Empire, and he summons the Companions after a prayer to all the gods he’s ever heard of – now we get the full story. Kordas, Duke of Valdemar, has worked very

This walk will probably go down as my favorite walk of the year – it’s got a unique coastal plain pond, so I was just swimming in flowers I’d never seen before. We did joke at the end of the walk that it needs to be renamed to the Ashumet Green Briar Sanctuary – I
