This is an interesting little book – it’s about all the languages of Europe. It’s definitely a survey – the author chooses to highlight something interesting or quirky about each language, and you will definitely run into languages you’ve never heard of before. (I’ll admit, as an American, it’s actually kind of hard to grok […]

For the 10th book in this series, we get to mix things up a bit – Mercy’s off to Europe, but not by choice. No, Mercy’s managed to get herself kidnapped by the king of the vampires of Europe, who’s under the impression that she’s the most powerful person in the Columbia Basin pack, as

Here are the high and low temperature scarves, up through the last day of Spring. I will probably need to buy more yarn for the 40s and 50s colors. (Boy are our low temperatures consistent in Spring.) I’m going to see what happens in the next month or so for the 60s before
I found this book on one of my free and bargain Kindle newsletters. It was written (translated at the very least) at the turn of last century, so I’m guessing it’s in the public domain now. It’s a nice little book. The stories don’t seem very Westernized – they definitely have fairy tale aspects, but

An interesting book about books, libraries and the people that have created libraries, both private and public. I can’t come to a decision as to whether or not it’s a good book. It’s good information, but man is it rambling.

I only finally got the plants out to harden off on Wednesday, between our trip, and the ridiculous amount of cold and rain we’ve been getting. Things were definitely starting to get leggy, so I planted out most everything today. The pepper are still inside (I’ll be putting them out for tonight at the
I grabbed this book as a Kindle deal because despite the fact it’s the second in a series, it said it was a stand-alone story. And to a degree, it is – it actually does a good job about giving you just enough detail when past events are mentioned that you know what you need

Pattern: Lepidoptora Mitts by Allison Van ZandtYarn: Malabrigo Sock in the Playa colorwayNeedles: Size 2 DPNs I’m finding it funny how much darker these mitts look than the other ones I made with the same yarn – funny how a particular pattern can change a variegated skein like that. I also did a little sweater ornament, and
I feel like a garden update is long overdue, but I usually do those when I have new pictures, and I have nothing new pictorially to report. April was really cool, and really wet. May so far has been a bit better, but still on the cool side. So my seedlings are still hanging
