My Reading Pile

I know most of you have a reading list that you hope to tackle when the time is right. I, however, have a reading pile. When I find a book that is intriguing, I grab it and put it in the pile. It looks like this–

It kind of looks like it might fall over, right? But hopefully it won’t.

I can add to those titles. One book would be “My Life” by Golda Meir. I read it years ago and want to read it again. It’s a fascinating story. Another would be “Cryptonomicon” by Neal Stephenson. Again, I read it some time ago, a fascinating book.

What’s on your book pile/reading list? Drop me a comment and let me know.

Aqatain the First created an empire. Is Aqatain the Second about to destroy it?

Second waited years to take his father’s place as Emperor. Now he’ll rule the territories his way. He can do anything he wants. Then he encounters Jenna. Why can’t he have her, too?

Jenna, however, has plans of her own. She meets Sergeant Ryall Norcross of the empire military and the two fall in love. With determination, Norcross sets out to make her his own. He soon finds himself in opposition to his own commanding officer, and the supreme ruler of the Empire.

Excitement at the Lake

I hadn’t been to the lake all summer and really wanted a swim. So I arranged the day and we set off. There were hobbits there, to my surprise.

The weather was supposed to be sunny with light clouds, but it was soon heavily clouded and a loud rumble began. I thought it was a big truck going up the road behind the lake, but it continued, getting louder. Soon it was right above us, heavy thunder. As it got louder, we looked around wondering where the lightening would appear.

Then it dumped rain, huge pellets of water as we scrambled for our things and ran for the car. By the time we got there and loaded our stuff, we were soaking wet. Not your usual trip to the lake for a swim.

What did you do to bid farewell to the summer? Drop me a comment.

I Love Roses

At my old house, I grew numerous roses in the garden. They have been one of my favourite flowers. However, where we live now, they don’t survive. This area is known as a ‘frost pocket’ by the local farmers, and the roses rot in the damp cold during the winter. So although I have planted numerous roses, none of them have survived.

However, my sister gave me six rose bushes late last winter when she was moving and leaving her garden behind. I planted them all when the weather warmed up. Since then, two have died, two have kind of stalled, just sitting there, but these two have gone crazy. I finally have roses again! Yay!

The red one is lovely, but no scent. The pink one has bloomed for months now with a beautiful perfume. I’m so pleased.

My Garden

The garden is strange this year. ( I always say that, but it seems different every year. ) This year the tomatoes are ripening much earlier. Usually I harvest most of them in the fall when they are still green and put them under my bed to ripen. This year, most of them are ripe now, very tasty and sweet.

The cucumber plants have each given me two cukes through the whole summer (and yes, they have the same bite marks from the wild rabbits as last year). Right at the end of the runner, is a new tiny blossom so I have some hope of another cucumber, but not for a while.
