We have peas! In woodchuck news, we left the house last Saturday, and turned onto the main road we’re just two houses in from, and there was a very dead woodchuck in the middle of the road. It had the right coloring to be ours, and we haven’t seen hide nor hair of any sort

And so it begins… This is the front bed, continuing the red, yellow and blue theme. This was from earlier in the week, with all of the plants we bought last weekend. I also put a small divot in the mound of mulch, and made this bed look much better.
While we were out and about yesterday, we stopped at the nursery where BF had picked up the yellow dahlia that did so well in our front bed last year. We got another one (as well as a red dahlia), as well as some other yellow, red and blues for that bed. (And some marigolds
I enjoyed the end of this trilogy, though it did seem like the book went on forever – it felt much longer than the prior two books. We start with Nahri and Ali back in Cairo, Ali’s first time among humans. Because they have Sulieman’s ring with them, all magic back in the city of
