I would certainly be surprised if most of you weren’t sick of my Monarch Butterfly updates. Don’t worry everyone, it is almost over. Today ten of them will emerge from their chrysalis. Which will leave us with only four after that. The last four look like they will emerge a day or two later. I have to go out for a few hours and I am afraid I will miss watching ten emerge. Thankfully hubby will be here and he promised he would take lots of pictures for me. The five that came out yesterday, that I put in the habitat, will be released today as well. I wanted them to be released all at once so I can watch them all dance around in the yard. Let’s be real… they are going to make a run for it out of my yard as soon as they can. Just like those lady bugs I buy each year. That’s fine. The real success will be if any return and lay eggs. Check my other blog Pollen Patch (click here) for any updates.

Excerpt:
“Sarah Newbolt enjoyed in her saturnine, brooding way the warmth of April sunshine and the stirring greenery of awakening life now beginning to soften the brown austerity of the dead winter earth. Beside her kitchen wall the pink cones of rhubarb were showing, and the fat buds of the lilacs, which clustered coppice like in her dooryard, were ready to unlock and flare forth leaves. On the porch with its southern exposure she sat in her low, splint-bottomed rocker, leaning forward, her elbows on her knees. The sun tickled her shoulders through her linsey dress, and pictured her, grotesquely foreshortened, upon the nail-drawn, warped, and beaten floor. Her hands, nursing her cheeks, chin pivoted in their palms, were large and toil-distorted, great-jointed like a man’s, and all the feminine softness with which nature had endowed her seemed to have been overcome by the masculine cast of frame and face which the hardships of her life had developed… ”

by Adam Fletcher
(766 Reviews)
Genre: Travel | Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
About racing a tuk-tuk one thousand kilometres through India with a woman I’d just met?
No, I wasn’t serious.
“There’s a fifty percent chance we’ll die. And the flight’s in two days. But if you want to, okay… ”
It was not a reasonable offer. But then she wasn’t a reasonable woman. She was certainly unreasonably attractive. I tried not to let that sway me, which was like a hammock deciding a tornado wouldn’t sway it.
And driving terrified me; I hadn’t done it in a decade. But if I could drive in India, I could drive anywhere. If I drive a tuk-tuk, I could drive anything. And if I said yes, I’d get to spend ten days with her. Would that be enough time to find out who she was, what she wanted, and then convince her to abandon that and want me instead?
There was only one way to find out…
The books in the Weird Travel series can be read in any order.
