My other experience with Brodsky’s work is her Olympus Bound series (which starts with The Immortals), where she took the ancient Greek gods into modern times, and which I enjoyed. So when I saw that she wrote a book about the meeting of the Inuit and the Norse, I was intrigued, and very willing to […]

The shed is put to bed for the year, other than the perennial pots. Everything else is cleaned up and stowed according to how likely I will need it in early spring. Here are said perennial pots – other than the maypop. That was denuded of foliage, and since I’m storing that in the garage
Pattern: Sprung Rhythm by Kate Davies Yarn: KDD & Co Ooskit in the Riach colorway Needles: Size 8 circs This was a fun knit – interesting construction, and a nice pattern. It’s got a nice coziness to it – I’m looking forward to it being cold enough to wear, which will be soon enough. I
I added three more colors to the Worsted/Aran Ten Stitch Blanket. I was going to add one yarn end to the DK blanket as well, but realized it was more or less the same color as the last batch. I should be finishing a DK project soon that looks like it’ll only have a bit
The remaining dahlias came in on my lunch break on Thursday. I was a little worried about this batch – they went through a harder frost than I really should have let them go through a couple days after their first frost. Fortunately, I had moved them under our roof overhang, and trimmed off most
We both managed to catch one of the lovely respiratory cruds going around, so I lost some time to that over the last couple of weekends. I did manage to dig out the first batch of dahlias ahead of a big rainstorm during the week (see above), and those were cleaned off and packed up
This is a really interesting world, and I like how the magic works – Aelis has some interesting abilities fused in a different way. She’s also a reckless idiot sometimes, and it’s a good thing she has friends looking out for her. We learn a lot more about the raised dead we met in the

Kayla knows she’s adopted, but it’s a shock when a masked man walks up to her (and her mom and brother) at the state fair. He announces she’s the heir to his deceased dark lord, who he’s been searching for for years, and whisks the three of them off to Zaradwin. This book is a

I enjoyed this book – more or less the entire Folly crew, as well as Bev, the twins, and Peter’s extended family, are up in Aberdeenshire for a holiday. And some incident cryptid hunting. The point of view switches between Abigail and Peter, which I rather enjoyed. This book seems to be very controversial in

I’m glad I pulled in the three dahlias that hadn’t bloomed yet. Hurricane and Lady Darlene have obliged. The Bloomquist York has had a bud since 9/3, which seems to be stuck. I probably should have cut it off a long time ago. I did finally cut it today, as there is one other semi-formed
