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 […]
Marina had her fifth child during a terrible winter, and did not survive after the birth. But she was clear to her husband that this daughter was her choice – a daughter to be like her grandmother, a mysterious woman who appeared from nowhere and married a prince. From the beginning, Vasya is a bit

I finally got over to the community garden plot on Thursday – it’s been pretty rainy this April, so it took way to long to get some time that corresponded to not being way too damp. It doesn’t look like much right now, but I at least got the winter detritus cleared away.
Selene di Silva was once Artemis – like many members of her family, when belief waned, she found a new home far from Greece, and she now lives in New York City. The family is barely immortal now, though some gain smaller amounts of power from the pieces of themselves that mortals still worship. Selene

I finally got the rest of the seedlings potted up this weekend. I had to bring in the spare light, so I may end up investing in good light number three next year. I also need to look into getting some sort of better tray set up – I’m almost out of room. I
I skipped the gym on Wednesday so I could clean up the side garden – it got away from me in the fall, due to the early snow in November. And it had continued so cool so far this spring that I hadn’t wanted to disturb anything that might be overwintering. But we seem
It’s winter in Shrewsbury, and a particularly bad storm puts a hole in the roof of the Abbey. While the brothers are up fixing it, Brother Haluin falls from the roof. His injuries are grave, and they do not expect him to live. Because of this, he makes a confession that Brother Cadfael is there

I think this book can best be described as Pride and Prejudice in the borderlands between two alternate realities, where one has magic, and the other does not. Rose lives in the Edge – those that do live a bit of a hardscrabble existence, being neither from the Broken (our world, because magic is broken)

Here’s what the garden looked like on Saturday, when I dragged the herb pots out of the garage. I contemplated a little clean up, but it’s been fairly cool still, so I don’t want to throw out something that’s overwintering. I took today off to go renew my license. Good thing that was my
