The garden by Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #Garden #Peonies #Roses

 

Before I talk about my garden this is the new cover for the double book Leo - Aquarius and Virgo- Pisces. The new covers are great.

Now the garden. I have roses and peonies and a dogwood tree that are now all in bloom. The dogwood tree grew much taller than was predicted when I planted the tree. The soil must have been really rich. I was told the tree might grow to ten feet tall. It is now  between thirty and fourty feet tall. Today the green is turning white with the blooms and this is a grand sight. 

As usual, the peonies went from small buds to full flowers and as happens every eyar, they bloomed and it rained. Not sure why but that happens nearly every year.

The roses went from tight buds to full flower. They are in full bloom but they will remain that way for all summer. Actually two of the bushes continue to bloom through the fall and occasionally into winter depending on how cold the weather becomes and how early or late.

I have a large front porch and sitting out when it's warm is one of my favorite things. I've written parts of many of my books while sitting on the white wicker swing.

April - Is it Spring yet by Janet Lane Walters #BWLAuthor #MFRWAuthor #April #Spring

 

When I was outside today, the wind was so gusty, I thought we had been blown back to March. I don't know if anyone else feels that winter has lasted long enough. At least it's not snowing again.

Spring is one of my favorite times. At least the daffodils are blooming but not in my yard. My flowers are mainly roses and peonies. The peonies have breeched the ground and soon will be larger and perhaps bloom. My dogwood has finally begun to leaf and can't wait until the tree looks white with flowers.

I would take pictures but looking at shoots isn't colorful  and the roses are a month or more from blooming. Last summer wasn't great for them since it was so dry.  Butt enough complaining. Spring will arrive in it's time.

I'm finally on the last draft of the book that seems to have taken forever with a few spells of bad health to halt the progress. The horror writer ahs demised and the case is almost solved. My next book will be a romance triggered by a phone call from an old friend who called after about 20 years. This may also trigger some other romances featuring a phone call. I'll have to wait until they pop into my head.
