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.

What is happening in your garden?

Bethlehem Farmer is doing her best to help her brother Abram hold things together in south Khandarken after their father died in the battles. She is looking after the dispossessed, keeping the farm productive and the talc mine working in the hills behind their land. But when Abram takes a trip with Uncle Jade into the northern territory and disappears without a trace, she’s left on her own.

5 Star Review — Ms Grayson has created a fascinating new world with a lot of the same old problems. Sci fi and fantasy rolled into one with a sure hand and enormous imagination.
