Forged (Gail Mccarthy Mystery)
“Venus floated in a turquoise-blue sky above the eastern ridge as I peered out the bedroom window. All the vehicles and people seemed to have vanished from my barnyard overnight.
Pouring myself an early cup of coffee, I left Blue to sleep and wandered outside to investigate, Roey and Freckles at my heels. A sweatshirt was enough to cut the morning chill; spring had definitely arrived. The wisteria vine that twined from one pillar of the porch to the next was dripping with blossoms, their dusty l...avender hue a pale gray in the dawn. Early roses were in bloom, too; the banksia that covered my garden shed was spangled with frothy, pale yellow stars-a color that glowed even in this dim light. And the last of the glorious deep blue ceanothus bushes were in full cry, though their cobalt shade, so brilliant in sunlight, was ashen without it.
I tromped down the hill to the barn, coffee cup in hand, pursuing one of my favorite occupations-looking at the garden. I was finding that I enjoyed observing the plants more than anything else.MoreLess
