Second colour of Spring
I know yellow was my first colour here, but pink is now overtaking it. It’s still spring, right? Not summer yet. This is the Japanese tree peony in my garden. It blooms way before the regular peonies. The heather is covered with tiny pink flowers. My crabapple tree is in full bloom. Luckily we spotted…

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…

Happy New Year
I just wanted to take the time to wish you all the best for 2023. We are heading into a brand new year and all things are possible. I spent part of the last day of 2022 going through what I had accomplished throughout the year. The list was good, it buoyed me up to…

First Skiff of Snow
I can’t believe it but we’ve already had our first skiff of snow. It started yesterday, snowing, then raining (melting the snow), then sunny, and back again. We have the strangest weather that blows through. Then it snowed again, then stopped. Here is what I found this morning

The Last War- novella
I’ve been working on a novella, AQATAIN, The Last War. I decided it was worth showing who the first Emperor was, and what kind of man. This will be the first book in the series. It’s fun to sort out a character who hasn’t appeared before. He is the father of Emperor Aqatain the Second…

Alfie the Eagle has fledged
When we returned from our road trip, the eagle nest had collapsed and was about a third of the size it had been. The rest of it was on the ground at the base of the tree. Alfie, the eaglet, was perched on a rock on the hill the other side of our driveway. We…

Eagles chapter two
The eagles have been very busy. They have continued to increase the size of the nest until we could no longer tell if Mama was sitting on the eggs, if there were eggs. Here’s what it looks like now, nearly twice the size as it was in March when I last posted, cascading down the…

More Signs of Spring
Here we are mid-April. It must be almost spring, right? 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 https://books2read.com/u/m2Y117 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SGKTY2N?tag=nibemail-swp-20
