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.

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.

Flowers of the west coast

The flowers are budding like crazy in my garden. In the front are peonies, next are the foxgloves. We loved to play with these as kids, used them for swords, or put a pod on the end of each finger and pretended we worked magic with them. Behind those are phlox. It grows wild all over the place and I leave them to seed in the garden because they fill the empty spaces with their beautiful pink to purple flowers and lovely scent.

What is blooming where you are?

Slow recovery

I came down with a cold a week ago, and it became one of the worst colds I can remember. No fever, or chills. But a total wipeout in terms of energy, and a cough that won’t quit, no matter what I use to treat it with.

Meanwhile, my job is to keep writing my new novel. 🙂

Don’t you love it? This new book is about some of the creeks up the coast of Vancouver Island. They have names like — Cat’s Ear, Sir Donald, Dead Man, Perseverance. I’m not sure who came up with these names, but they have really drawn me in. Now I have to come up with a story about them.

Fun, eh?
