Garden Notes
The front bed is clear of its winter leaf bed, and holy god are there a lot of maple seedlings! I always expect to see some, but I swear, it’s a regular carpet right now. I don’t remember a bumper crop of helicopters last year, but there apparently was one.
Garden Notes
Things are coming together. It’s warming up (like we left the heat off overnight a few nights this week.) I’ve got the hose out, and today, I set up the dahlia greenhouse. I need to check on the dahlias and see if they’re waking up yet. I don’t want them out until sometime in May,

I’m entering the home stretch of reformatting all my old blog posts, and in a depressing coincidence, I did March and April of 2022 yesterday.
Only Bad Options – Jennifer Estep
I picked this up based on a recommendation of this author on Ilona Andrew’s blog – I will trust any recommendation she has for authors she enjoyed. Vesper works for R&D at a company owned by one of the ruling families in this universe – at this point in time, the galaxy is ruled by
