If you're brave enough to fly

Today’s photo: crocuses in the garden.

Today’s writing: 1,100 words on the third draft of Ghosts, which brought me to the end of the draft.  All that’s left is some line edits and it’ll be sent off into the aether.

It is feeling most definitely like spring.  I have crocuses growing in the garden for the first time, and many other as-of-yet unknown bulbs sprouting up.  The roses have taken off after being pruned, and one even has a bud already.  Along with that comes the usual aphid infestation.  I’ve tried the same trick that worked last year, which is spraying the aphids directly with a solution of dishwashing liquid in water.  I do believe that our lemon tree will actually produce lemons this year for the first time, too.

I’ve moved on to reading Elizabeth Moon’s Remnant Population, which is proving to be startlingly good.  I haven’t read any of Moon’s work before, and am enjoying this thoroughly so far.

And my walking companion this afternoon was the latest episode of the Outer Alliance podcast, which I have also been enjoying thoroughly.  Only about halfway through so far, too!
