Dot celebrated her birthday on the 1st of August. We had seafood and the birthday girl giggled through the entire dinner, especially when it came to the cake (Barney!).
Dot turns ONE tomorrow. We embarked into a frenzy of cleaning the house, because both sets of grandparents will be coming over, together with a horde of relatives.
There will be feasting, merriment and laughter. Dot will probably get showered with presents and kisses. She will enjoy it, she being the social girl she is.
And it's Lammas. I count the blessings and are grateful for the harvest(s) in my life. I also let go of things that haunt me, the dry dessicated things. I throw them into the compost heap of my life, let them become rich, fertile once more.
Gardening update: I need to harvest the pomegranates. They are red now. I hope they are sweet too.
On happy-making news, Lammas is around the corner. Dot's birthday happens to fall on the same day.
On writery news, book two is gathering speed and the characters are growing too. Taking unexpected turns the story is. Though I am too tired to write more. :(
If you know people who like urban fantasy set in a different land besides American or United Kingdom, please tell them about my new book coming out next year. Little things help.
