Garden Notes
This has been my project for several afternoons when it’s been nice after work – a corral for the leaf pile. I had to actually get it together, which I did around the larger left pile we had in the back corner, and then shift the rest of the pile into it, and close it

Tempests and Slaughter – Tamora Pierce
I was definitely looking forward to reading this book – it’s the back story for the mage Numair, when he was still a young man named Arram Draper. It’s how he studied in Carthak and became the mage that he is in later books, and how he knew Orzone, before he become emperor. I really
