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.
Major Dante Regiment is sent by his father, the General of Khandarken, to find out what the situation is at Farmer Holdings. What he sees shakes him to the core and fuels his grim determination to protect Bethlehem at all cost, even with his life.

More Signs of Spring

Here we are mid-April. It must be almost spring, right?

The current bush, my absolute favourite is out in bloom. The original bush died and I shopped everywhere for a replacement. Then one just sprouted up in my garden down the bank from the old one. Warmed my heart.
The camellias are among the first to bloom. Love the different shades.
I love the dandelions. They are so bright and cheerful in the spring. And you can always make a dandelion chain. 🙂
The cherry trees are in full blossom. This is three trees planted together. Lovely. This is an ornamental, of course. The fruit trees are still thinking about sending out their blossoms.
And then there’s is the western skunk cabbage. Grows in ditches and wetlands, and stinks up the place. 🙂

Yet, we had an inch and a half of snow on Sunday, and another flurry on Tuesday. Doesn’t the weatherman know it’s SPRING??

What is happening where you live? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Best, Sylvie

Signs of Spring

I went for a bike ride yesterday, for the first time this year. The rain had stopped, and although it wasn’t sunny, it was a nice day. And as I rode, I saw some signs of spring.

The ferns are growing like mad.
The moss has stopped hibernating and is sending out numerous bright green shoots.
The ocean spray has grown tiny leaves and the blossoms are getting ready to burst.

My Mom always called this bush spyria. When I moved back to the west coast, I got a book of plants of British Columbia, and although most folks call it ocean spray, Mom was right– spyria is the correct name. I shouldn’t be surprised. 🙂
