A while back I did a review for this book and I still stand by my review. Really good book that is actually a romance. Then again, I write some romance so I would read it wouldn't I?
My review: This novel ends up being a classic damsel in distress story having read the entire book that takes place in what would have been the west at that time. Yes, it will appeal to men also as the romance is rather low-key and a guy will especially like this story once the nefarious counterfeiters become a main part. They take a hostage which the "knight in shining armor" (Quincy) then rescues (Magen) and yes, he ends up with her which I thought was pretty good.Women in particular I think will like the wedding scene, it was a bit of a trip for me as I read it (in fact I had to read that chapter twice). The whole town comes out, sets up the wedding in a field and a fiddler serenades Magen down the "aisle" to the preacher who then marries them. The wedding is held in an open field of all places just outside of the house, it was a perfect wedding.

Growing Things garden
Of course, there is a garden here at home that is the basis for the information I've included in Growing Things. I'm actually half tempted to call our yard Bigelow Farms at times. Over half of the yard happens to be the garden area.
Today, while I was planting some more potatoes in a couple of parts of the garden I noticed the climbing rose has started to leaf out. Can't wait to post pictures of the roses in bloom in a few weeks here on the blog. Unfortunately, the Wisteria still hasn't started leafing out yet :-(
Our lettuce and carrots have sprouted well as have the edible peas and cucumbers. It will be nice to have the Cosmos sprouting between the little rows. Even the Marigolds we started from last years harvested seed seem to have started well.
It's also looking like we will have a decent amount of Chamomile also this year. Sure love having a cup of tea of that delectable wonder in the evenings. Think we have a good amount of Echinacea starters also but not quite sure yet as they aren't differentiated enough.
Now for a couple of pictures.

This is our first rose on the bush by the street.
The plants with needle-like leaves are Cosmos. Both the lettuce and the Cosmos seem to be pretty compatible together. What will be nice is that the Cosmos get 3-4 feet high (just over a meter) and will keep some of the worst Sun of the day off of the lettuce. Lettuce does have a terrible tendency to wilt during the heat of the day.

The Box
The Box will soon be in final editing stages. The primary cabinet/furniture maker is based on some actual people. Three+ to be a little more exact. Roy Underhill of the PBS program Woodwright's Shop, Norm Abrams of the PBS program New Yankee Workshop and to an extent myself.
I really look up to both Roy and Norm and have learned a lot of the little bit of carpentry I do from both of them. It isn't everyone that would write a book with those individuals as models but that's what I've done.
The story is actually an unusual one, definitely not what you would normally see. A young kid becomes an apprentice in a cabinet/furniture making shop. He also becomes close friends with the cabinet maker of the story.
I really do hope everyone likes it and it's not a very long read at about 12,000 words.

Review for Watchers (Tilly Greenway and the Secrets of the Ancient Keys)
Very interesting book.
Throw together a vast underground conspiracy, a bit of mythology, a feeling like War of the Worlds, a fast pace and a dragon or two you get a book like this one.
Really enjoying it!
The vast underground conspiracy reminds me of the one in Windmills of the Gods by Sydney Sheldon. (Boy that gives my age away doesn't it?)
Though the description states that this is a YA book but I'm really enjoying it.
Description
Sacred sites, secret messages, ancient aliens, global conspiracy and...dragons!
When Tilly Greenway and her stepbrother Zack discover that the world is run by a sinister shadow-government called ISIS, they are plunged headlong into a quest to save mankind from a horrifying fate.
ISIS is in league with an alien group that plans to turn the entire human race into their food source. Only the Guardians can stop them. But who are the Guardians? And why do they need Tilly and Zack?
Lord of the Rings meets The Da Vinci Code in part one of this epic tale of magic, myth and dark intrigue...
***Warning ***
This book is intended for adults and children of 11 years and older. The story is a blend of fact and fiction and presents some controversial theories of the origins of the human race. Prepare to be shocked
