Garden Notes
I started seeds yesterday. I have been rewarded today with a snow storm. Happy Spring? The flat on the left is the columbine I started before we left for Denmark. They sprouted the day after we got home, so that’s coming along nicely.
Wild Sign – Patricia Briggs
Anna and Charles are called in to investigate the disappearance of a community squatting on land that it turns out the pack owns in the California mountains. Due to prior events, the FBI has decided that Anna must lead the werewolves, and Bran is happy to not disabuse them of that notion, so he lets

Trio of Sorcery – Mercedes Lackey
This book has three different novellas, two from Lackey’s early series, and a standalone third story. I loved the intros to each, because she wrote them for any younger person reading those earlier stories today, so set the scene of how technology has changed since those two older series. I have not read any of

Denmark – Copenhagen Botanical Garden
We almost didn’t go to the Botanical Garden. The palm house is being restored, and it was too early in the season for their to be very much outside, right? But we ran into a cold and rainy day, and decided to chance the palm house. While it is being worked on, it is still

Denmark – Dambo Trolls
Thomas Dambo first came to my attention when he installed six trolls at the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden. Once I knew we were going to Denmark, I started marking the nearby trolls to see what we’d be able to find. There are three trolls currently in Copenhagen. The first troll turned out to be in

Denmark – Christiansborg Slot
I’m doing a separate entry for Christiansborg Slot because I ended up completely geeking out over their tapestry display, and took so many pictures they need their own post. Christiansborg was the royal palace, but the royal family has decamped to Amalienborg. Christiansborg is now the official home of the parliament and the judiciary. The

Denmark – Roskilde
Our second day trip was out to Roskilde. (Our timing on those was due to wanting to stay in Copenhagen on the day of the Hans Zimmer concert, and the fact that our friend K came in from London for the days around that to see us and come to the concert. We may have

Denmark – Helsingor
Our first day trip was to Helsignor, Elsinore in English. It’s the home of Kronborg Slot, which was Shakespeare’s inspiration for Hamlet’s castle, but as you can imagine, it’s really something fairly different. Helsingor sits on the Oresund, the strait between Denmark and Sweden, at its narrowest point. There used to be a toll charged

Denmark
We’re back from a week and couple days in Denmark. We planned the trip around Han Zimmer’s current tour, which is why we chose March. And I will say, the concert was amazing. He was clearly just so pleased to be there playing music with his musical family, and sharing that with us in the
Knitting Notes
The Vivid blanket squares are done. Well, other than weaving in. I did go back and redo the binding on several of them to make sure they were loose enough.
