Pecan Springs Journal

Coleus0907





















In June, I started a coleus collection. A neighbor watered the plants while I was gone, and the extra rain was a blessing. They're lush and gorgeous--a cheering sight, given the state of the rest of the garden. But we're making progress there, too, and I'm looking forward to the change.

This is a short post, just to tell you that I've started posting again at the Pecan Springs Journal. For the duration (while I'm writing Wormwood) that's where I'll document the writing of the next book in the China series. Let me know what you think about that, and what you'd like to hear about the writing process. Of course, I'll be posting here, too, as usual. I'm also doing additional book reviewing--more about that later.

Reading note. People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.--Thich Nhat Hanh

Please keep the B. Potter books coming. What joy they bring. Now I have two wonderful ladies to "follow"... China and miss Potter. Thank You

I love Coleus! It's amazing the variety you can find in color and texture. And I can't wait to see some pictures of what you do in your "new" garden space.
