March 24
Hope those of you who celebrate had a wonderful Easter!
Anyone know a clinical neuroscientist, or someone else who studies the brain? I’m needing some questions answered for a book, so I thought I’d ask here.
As for the books, they are inching along. Plotting is great, although until I have the characters’ journeys nailed, it all feels like a jumble.
The fun thing I’m doing at the moment is planning my garden, although the last frost here isn’t until June, but some friends are building me a 4X4 veggie patch which I’m so looking forward to. I’m also planting some heirloom tomatoes and I’ve got my nose buried in the Burpee catalog because oh, my! Veggies! In the front part of the yard it’s going to be one giant container of herbs then a bunch of butterfly-attracting flowers. I love it last year when I watered the herbs – the scent was heavenly. I’d grow them for that even if I never used them in cooking, which I do. For the 4X4, I’m planning a picking garden – fresh salad plucked moments before they hit the table. ::sigh:: happiness.
In the anti-happiness department, I’m putting together my taxes. Eeek.
It also looks as if I’m going to New York for Passover this year. Four days with my sister (the Rabbi) and her brood. I haven’t seen my family in ages so it’s going to be wonderful. Except for the flying part. I hate flying and wish they’d hurry up and get those Star Trek transporters up and running. Sheesh. At the very least, we should have had flying cars by now.

Oh I love gardening too! I may have gone overboard buying seeds this year… but hey, at least I’ll have lots of pretty flowers :)

Glenice, I’m doing heirloom tomatoes this year, along with English cucumbers. Can’t wait!
Lis, I don’t think one can have too many flowers. I’m buying a ton of them, myself. Yay, flowers!
PS- I’m madly in love with knowing what you guys are reading. This will be a new part of the blog forever. :)
