Oooo! Are you planning on planting some things? My father gardens. 
What really bothers me is so many of the gardening sites, catalogs and such have moved us to Zone 6, and its a big mistake. Even after 30 years, if I plant something that cannot grow past Zone 6, it will die over winter. No exception, because we were, are, and apparently will always be Zone 5!

We go to the apple orchards and then make apple things with what we get. Apple sauce, Amish-apple-pudding, apple crisp, and a lot of other stuff. It's very yummy.

They are all good. Darwin went for his annual check up and shots and is doing fine. 19.2 pounds now at 4 years old. He may ad a pound or two more before full maturity at years old.

I think he's fine. We just got back from vacation, so I haven't seen him today.

A Bump - sorry for being scarce. Been so busy and Jury Duty today. I'll be quite poofy in the next two weeks but have to bump! Want people to enjoy this fic.

Yes a good day! LOL Got excused from jury duty early today and had a chance to untangle some threads in my next book, and even had time to read and catch up on a few fics, thanks to the rain that keeps me out of the garden and yard.
Transplanted a 3 ft tall Tuliptree yesterday and we hope it lives, but it could not stay where it was. My 38 yo Tuliptree I raised from a tiny two-leaf seedling (sprouted in 1981) I transplanted by the driveway in 1986 has been tossing seedlings now for years!
Last time I had Jury Duty I was working on NEW BLOOD. Sometimes I really miss dabbling in that world! Have a new tale started, but it is sitting on the back burner while I untangle and restring the threads in my EYES IN THE DARK scifi work.
I'm still around and kicking!
Hope you've been well!

That tuliptree is older than me. o.o It's older than most of the people I know.
How's the scifi series going? All the plot points getting worked out?
I'm currently working on three projects to some extent. A fantasy-romance, a third book in an urban fantasy series, and then the third book for Sky of Shattered Stars. While also plotting a mythology twist on my own time - working on plotting a co-story with Sapphire - and then working on a semi-original work with a fantasy choose-your-own-adventure.

The Tuliptree is named Sunrise. If I can get pix in here I'll do it. So far I can't unless I upload to Imgur or the like.
