Yard plans, weekend thoughts, Malazan book of the fallen

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Touching on a number of topics here today that are bigger than a twitter comment but not large enough for a single post.

1. Yard plans

So with the rains and snow of the last couple of weeks the yard is starting to green up. Not with grass mind you. The damage from last year was too much for our poor grass lawn to overcome. But at least there is some ground cover to keep the strays from using the area for a litter box. I am contemplating attempting to transplant and grow some the lilacs to the front fence. There promises to be a lot of work in store for me as I try to restore the yard to respectability. But I think I can do it.

2. Weekend plans

I am already looking forward to the coming weekend. Saturday will be a full day but should be a fun time as we have swimming, soccer, then the Library. And a visit to Bargain Comics for Free Comic Book Day. Sunday I am not sure where we plan on going but I am looking forward to another hike/walk.

3. Toll the Hounds

Almost done with this book, book 8 in the saga. And it just an excellent read, just amazing to me how these books keep coming out and at number 8 are still consistently excellent. Anyone who likes Fantasy novels would be doing themselves a huge favor in picking up the series, they won't be disappointed.
