It's the first full day of summer and the sun which woke me when it rose has disappeared again. Mother Nature is determined to mess with my gardening schedule. I have a three-day weekend and I need to get some things done but forecast is predicting a chance of showers (thundershowers at that!)
I just finished reading Ascension by Steven Galloway. It's one of the books I bought last July at the Festival of Words in Moose Jaw. I'm off to this year's event in four weeks and I've still got a pile from last year. I'm down to only three Vanity Fair magazines as well. I've been reading a lot of stuff from work-- I love working in a public library. I just read First into Nagasaki by George Weller. He was a prize-winning war correspondent who wrote several dispatches from Nagasaki in September 1945 that were killed by military censors. He held onto the carbons of his stories which were discovered by his son after Weller's death in 2003. Fascinating reading for a history junkie like me. I also finished the latest China Bayles mystery by Susan Wittig Albert, Spanish dagger. I really like this series.
The sun has emerged again. I'm off to the garden.

Where has the time gone?
So much for good intentions-- I hoped to post something every week and now more than a month has gone by.
Lloydminster's first Arts Without Borders Festival has come and gone and it was a grand success. The photographer just dropped off several cds of photos to add to the gallery so I'll be gradually uploading them over the next few days. Check it out at www.artswithoutborders.ca
As you can see from the picture, Banzai is growing by leaps and bounds. He's into everything. Last week he chewed up one of my headsets (the cheapest one not the really expensive one I use for Skype). I'm still finding bits and pieces all over the house.
My yard is looking less like a wild jungle-- this morning I finally planted the 5 lilac bushes I bought nearly 2 weeks ago. It involved digging up over 100 square feet of lawn so it took a while (especially since it's rained nearly every day for over a week). The tomatoes are thriving and the lilies will be blooming soon. Expect pictures later this summer.
