Confidential to Todd
In those photos you asked about, Margot is set against dirt that used to be grass. We have had a grass crisis at The Compound over the last couple of years.
Guinness is behind elephant ears and Mexican heather.
And behind Greta is a salvia known as “Forest Fire” and what may be a corn plant, if there is such a thing.
Wednesday’s Watchers
In the early morning, while River and Tim sleep, The Compound is well-protected by their sentinels.

Isn’t it strange that people who write murder mysteries are the nicest people in the world? Maybe they spend their aggression on their fictitious victims. Here are two absolutely charming Houston authors, Dean James and Julie Wray Herman.
Around The Compound
Bouquet of bougainvillea.

Stuff I love today
1. Being able to smell the grass that Tom is cutting because my windows are still open after a record ten days of “moderate” temperatures.
2. Finding an interesting person through a newly discovered blog and feeling inspired.
3. Getting e-mail from a TJB reader.
4. Today is “Dictionary Day,” and I love dictionaries.
