Garden in bloom

My garden has gone crazy this spring. Don’t know if it is the weather or my green thumb!

Here are the Japanese tree peonies – I thought they only came in one colour but apparently not. These come in several different shades.

There is also a white one with huge petals that I didn’t get a photo of, it only lasted a few days.

Then there are the azalias, several different colours,

Lastly the wisteria, growing on the railing of my deck. The perfume is stunning, makes me want to linger out there, beside the great vine. It has roots in the rocks below, I don’t know what feeds it, but it is so strong it pulled the railing out of alignment.

The other plant is called rose geranium. I’ve never been fond of geraniums since my grade 6 teacher put one in a pot on the window sill beside my seat and I caught what I thought of as the ‘stink’ of the plant for the rest of the spring. But these smell wonderful. The flower isn’t huge, but the leaves have a lot of oil in them and I dry them and use for potpourri in the winter.

How is your garden growing?

Readers reviews –

5 Stars – As with the other five novels in the Last War series, the descriptive narratives of their world, and of the characters and their family groups are terrific.  Each of these can be read as a Stand Alone with a HEA!  However, there are so many fine characters that build upon their inter-relationships, I urge you to start with the first book and read each one successively, as I have done.  I was hooked with the first story and will continue to read each subsequent novel. Amazon reviewer

5 Stars –  I found myself watching a movie in my head through Sylvie Grayson’s words. Her world seemed a cross between a historical time period and Star Wars and it works! It had pieces from both, and they flowed together to create this brand-new world that is not only colorful but also imaginative.— BookBub reviewer

Back blub — Be careful who you trust!

Katy Dalton worked hard to save her money. And having her friend Bruno invest it seemed like a safe bet. But her job disappears and she needs her money back, everything Bruno has already loaned to Rome Trucking. When Katy insists he return it, Bruno stops answering his phone and bad things start to happen.

Brett Rome is frustrated. The last thing he wants to do is leave a promising career in hockey to come home and run his ailing father’s trucking company. What he discovers is not the successful business that he remembers, but one that is teetering on the very edge of bankruptcy and a young woman demanding the return of the money she invested.

With the company in chaos, Brett hires her. But danger lurks in the form of Bruno’s dubious associates. What secret are they hiding and why are they willing to kill Katy? Can Brett put this broken picture back together, and is Katy part of the solution or the problem?

A thrilling roller coaster of a story…

What readers say about Suspended Animation

5 Stars- Like watching a movie- Ms. Grayson writes so well that I feel like I am watching everyone as the action takes place! The scenes are detailed and the characters are so descriptive that I almost feel like I know these people and have shared time with them. There is some great action and romance to warm everyone up while enjoying this read on a cold day. I have read several books by Ms. Grayson , from romance and mystery through science fiction in the Khandarken Last War series, and have loved them all. I so look forward to reading her next books as she writes from the wonderful West coast.
