Garden Notes 2023
We’ve had a stretch of really blah weather for a bit now, so while there are definite signs of Spring (all of the above pictures are from my backyard), I have not been out doing as much yardwork as I would like. I have plans, but not enough dry hours to accomplish all of them.
Dragonshadow – Elle Katharine White
This is the second book in a series that started as a retelling of Pride and Prejudice, with dragons. Alaistair and Aliza are now married, and the story goes off into original territory.

Garden Notes 2023
It doesn’t look like I did much, but there was a fair amount of garden work done yesterday. I’ve set up the trellis (minus the netting) and moved out the old totes of soil that had brassicas last year, and didn’t get into the shed in time for winter. (The soil is in those two
The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy – Megan Bannen
Hart and Mercy have hated each other since they first met. Hart is a marshal on the border of the town where Mercy manages her family’s business. They’re undertakers, and Hart often has to bring what are essentially zombies back to Birdsall and Son when he catches them roaming about. It turns out, they’re both
