I got a little bit of work done, but my focus has been pretty bad this week. I didn’t sleep well last night and I’ve been stressed about my son as he becomes more and more teenager. Five more days until he’s officially a teen. We had a sunny weekend, followed by some good rain, so my plants are happy. So far I can really only harvest lettuce, but I can’t wait for tomatoes and strawberries and fresh herbs!
Sage is blooming, lavender buds are coming. 
Bunny tail grass–super soft! 
C’mon, grow faster! 
Bees love borage! 
Started some zinnias, morning glory, moonflower, and spanish flag mini lobata. I plan to leave the vining ones in pots and let them use the racks as trellis, since slugs are killing the ones I put in the ground.
Vagabonds
I wrapped up a scene about Lianora. It’s been so long since I wrote about her that I’m discovering her all over again. She may be interesting–I can see readers disliking her at first glance from an outside perspective, but from her own perspective, she certainly shows a lot of complexity and room for growth. Her tense relationship with Thalia came up and may play a role in her development, even if Thalia is nowhere around.
The Dollmaster
I got back to work on revising chapter four, exploring Talen’s upbringing and setting his stage. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted. Focus has been such a rarity this week.
