Last chance to enter the drawing for a free copy of Well of Sorrows by Benjamin Tate! I'll draw the winner in about an hour. ETA: and we have a winner! [info] shanrina


Good: My new lenses came in a couple of days early, and I had them put into my old frames, and now I can see again, yay! The people on TV have distinguishable features again! I'm not squinting all the time!

I picked the second squash from our first-time vegetable bed today for dinner. All the plants are different sizes for some reason (they were all planted on the same day) but if the squash continues to ripen at different rates it'll be good. Because otherwise we're going to suddenly have a lot of squash. Like, we'll have to hold the First Annual Squash Festival in our backyard.

Not good: The wind was intense yesterday, we skipped spring completely and went straight to June, and the drought is so bad and it's so dry we have fires all over the state. There's a small chance of rain today, so cross your fingers for us.

FAQ: A few people have asked, so I wanted to post it here. Yes, there is a sequel to The Cloud Roads. It's called The Serpent Sea, it's set in the same world, same characters, and starts out shortly after The Cloud Roads ends. Like The Cloud Roads, it is a complete story in itself. I'm not sure exactly when it will be out yet, but it should be sometime next year.
