Seedling haul

Garden Notes

Leave a Comment / At Home, Gardening / Megan

First seedling haul of the season: the yellow dahlia we like for the front bed, bidens (also for the front bed), basil, oregano and alyssum. I also got some zucchini seeds. They’re outside for now, but I will be keeping an eye out to make sure it doesn’t get too cold at night.

Leave a Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I’m mildly annoyed with myself, for no good reason. I thought this had been a free Kindle deal, and was happy that I’d found one I actually enjoyed. And it turns out I paid for it, so I’m guess I’m annoyed that I know my own tastes and paid for a book I’d enjoy. I’m

Magic Binds – Ilona Andrews

Leave a Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I’ve got to get better at reading series more closely together. Since I’ve been reformatting all my old blog posts, I’ve seen how far behind I am in this series, which is really silly, because we own all the books. This book makes no sense if you haven’t read everything that’s come before – there
