Another cool beautiful day around here. I took time to plant the flowers I got for Mother’s Day from dear daughter. They are my usual safe impatiens and some new star flower plants. Now the porch planters are full, and the ancient urn in the yard is blooming. I have oodles of extras and will put them in the back yard flower bed.

I am waiting for my yard guy to come do the Spring clean up. He seems to have disappeared, and I hate to go through getting someone else. We have used him for years.

The yard, however, is raggedy and overgrown and needs help soon.

Terrible news about the soldier who killed five fellow soldiers in Baghdad.  All were in a stress unit there. Let’s just get out of there!! It will take years for the men and women who served to gain a measure of normality.

It seems that I am drawn almost immediately to the NY Times section on crime in their Sunday Book Review. For years I have savored the best in crime novels. I favor the Brits and Scots and some USA writers like Dennis Lehane and the sadly departed Tony Hillerman.

I think one of the reasons is the careful structure of the genre. I’m a Virgo, and love structure! I also love the kicker at the end – the surprise, the capture, the get away.

And now that I have a Kindle I am close to going completely overboard!
