The Wordsmith's Forge

Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. I'm starting with this list.

17. What is your most treasured memory?

I have a lot of good ones.  This is a favorite.

dialecticdreamer has posted the story "Babysitting Emergency" after the Magpie Monday made it's $50 goal.  \o/  The second time Shiv is faced with an urgent childcare issue, he asks for help and gets it.  :D

A fan reminded me of this gem today.  It explains why some boys want to play with dolls.  Duh.

 One of my non-canon stories is going up on Torn World.

Today is hazy and warm.  The yard is lush and green again after recent rain.

I went out and picked part of a baggie of serviceberries.

Daylilies are blooming, as are the first of my Asian lilies.  I'm surprised the Asian ones even came back. I should plant more of them around the telephone pole. 

EDIT 6/14/18: I went back out and picked a bag of cherries, enough for a cherry-limeade pie.
