I’ve been thinking about my favorite Canadian garden writers.
Tottering in My Garden by Midge Keeble is an old favorite, a narrative of her gardens, written with humour and love – a charming read.
Most gardening books are either gorgeous and inspirational, but useless in this climate, or practical, but definitely not beautiful. I love all of Patrick Lima’s books – each both beautiful and practical, an unusual combination.

The Veil Weavers will be available as an e-book starting next week. Yeah!!! That’s all of them, now, except The Nexus Ring. That’s coming too, I’m told, some time.
Coteau has suggested it would be great if I could have some folks I know post a review for my books on the sites:
This is a great way to support writers you love – post reviews on Amazon, on kobobooks, on Goodreads, on Chapters, etc. Of course, if you don’t like the book, give it a pass and post a review on a book you love, instead. And buy books and tell friends – it all helps spread the word about favorite books.
Hmm, that reminds me. I think I have some new favorites to list on Goodreads.

I was up early this morning, working in the garden before it got hot and too allergic for me. I worked, and then showered, to get everything off my skin (that allergy thing), dressed in the clothes I wanted to wear for a meeting later in the day, and got to work in my office. Yes, I know it’s Sunday, but I’ve been away and am going away again and, well, work. You know.
Birds chirped and I looked outside and saw the most amazing backlighting on the daylilies outside my office window. I was at a book talk in the mountains with a wildflower photographer and he talked about backlighting and, well, within moments, there I was, crouched in the garden in my clean clothes, trying to find the right angle. Instead of working.
