The Borrowers Afield

More chatter about The Borrowers over at Tor.com.

Meanwhile, the last of the roofing ladders was removed about an hour ago, along with most of the roofing gunk. Alas, some of the nice ornamental plants were crushed, although the weeds were completely spared. This seems unkind. I know we were getting rid of the old roof and it had no reason to like us, but a nice bit of weeding on the way out would have been awesome.

Fortunately it's both seriously hot and raining cats and dogs (that is, the neighbor's dogs are barking about it and the neighborhood stray cat has decided that my lawn chair provides an excellent umbrella), so I suspect most of the plants will be bouncing back quite soon. The grass is certainly spouting.
