Garden…
….finally…..
growing.
We’re starting to get some rain around here. Unfortunately, the garden’s already suffered from the dry weather throughout June. The corn’s tasselling, but as my cousin’s mother says, it’s nothing to brag about….
I’ve been reading a book called Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. (Link to the book at Amazon can be found in the lower sidebar here.) It’s actually an autobiographical book, but it’s written with a novelist’s flair. It’s about a year in her life in which she spent four months in Italy studying pleasure, four months in India studying devotion, and four months in Indonesia seeking a balance between the two. She sets out on this journey because she’s wallowing in her problems and is looking for a way to solve the restless anxiety of her mind. Really, I didn’t think anyone could wallow better than me when I have a problem, but this woman is a pro and she’s SO funny about it–and also surprisingly insightful.
What about you? What are you reading lately?

The only thing I grew this year was onions but they’re doing wonderfully and for now I’m not allowed to eat them – that sucks lol.

We are in the middle of a terrible drought in the intermountain west. Fortunately, we are still getting our irrigation water.

We finally got rain two days ago… things were starting to get desperate but… it was with a really bad storm. I’m not a farmer but live in farmer country. Crops that were going to be record making… all seeds up and 6-7 feet high(corn) by the fourth of July—totally wiped out.
Its been heartbreaking. On the other hand it was awesome to see all the wonderful goodness in people…everyone came out and helped neighbors dig out neighbors. THAT WAS TOO COOL!
Hope you guys get rain soon, but a gentle rain.

I just finished two regencies – Julia Quinn’s “The Secret Diary of Miranda Cheever” and Suzanne Enoch’s latest “Sins of a Duke.” Both quite good.
Next, I’m reading “Teacher Man” by Frank McCourt – for a reading group. I think I’ll suggest “Eat, Pray, Love” for the next group meeting, based on your recommendation.

What am I reading? I’m in-between books right now. Very recently finished your “Secrets Rising,” Caridad Pineiro’s “Death Calls,” and Aimee Thurlo’s “Council of Fire.” Non-fiction reading is “Archaeology” magazine. I have so many books to read, both fiction and non-fiction, that I doubt I’ll ever get them all read.
BTW, congrats to Angie T. for winning today! Hurrah!
