TJ Wilde Trilogy · Duxbridge Mysteries · Jennifer McCaffrey Mysteries
We’ve been super busy here. Lots of comings and goings. Walks and barking at neighbors who dare walk down any sidewalk within sight. So many naps are needed.
Trixie is the most adorable sleepy dog. And she always needs something or someone to snuggle.
And here we are in old Hollywood, immersed in memorabilia and collectibles. A little bit of heaven, as far as I’m concerned. Add to that the beach, the canyons and, of course, Santa Monica Pier, and writing was a great escape from whatever was going on in my real life.
TJ and Mimi were having the time of their lives, too. At least they were until Mimi once again went missing. TJ was correct. That woman definitely needed a GPS attached to her ass. So now, instead of determining the provenance of a beautiful oil painting, she was desperately trying to find her friend.
TJ’s quiet life was in the rearview mirror.
From my Living Lightly blog:
Why am I showing you a photo of my dead lawn? So you can compare and contrast it with my drought tolerant lawn.
The photo above is the small patch of lawn in my front yard. A mix of blue grass and fescue that was here when I purchased the home. You can see why I removed three-quarters of it and replaced it with a drought tolerant native perennial garden.
I have amended the soil in this section, overseeded and fertilized. Still, during the drought this year, it looks like this.
Compare that to this lawn:
Last night’s harvest
Tomatoes are coming in. I have an entire plant filled with San Marzano that I will do whatever it takes to see them to the ripe stage. Beyond that, it looks like several other varieties are already done for the season.
Again, not enough to process, but plenty to eat sliced, on sandwiches or in salads. I’ll turn a few into Chicken Tortilla Soup today.
What’s on your Saturday to-do list?

All books are now also available directly from the website, as well Amazon.
I bought a second skeleton for this year’s Halloween display. It sits at the table while I decide where to stash it until then. As with last year, the critters are all fascinated.
Willow seemed particularly fascinated this week. While I was on the phone, I heard her yowling. When I turned around, I saw her trying to get its attention.
