I’d been poor as shit for my entire life. I’d learned to roll with it most days. Other times, like this morning, it punched me in the teeth.
In Harmony- Emma Scott
I’ve never been hit in the face. My mother didn’t bother disciplining me. Though I saw men hit her and my aunt from time to time, no man has ever hit me, so I didn’t know. I couldn’t have known that the first hit, that baptism into violence, doesn’t just sting the flesh. It startles the soul.
Long Shot- Kennedy Ryan
His children were left behind, like a sock in a drawer that was almost empty, and that was a million times worse than if there was nothing left at all.
Bring Down the Stars- Emma Scott
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a doughnut.
Lost and Found Sisters- Jill Shalvis
Ragged police tape swung from the columns. The double-wide front door had been blown open, like the house had died mid-scream. Like it is still screaming.
Every Deep Desire- Sharon Wray
Awesome and such a beautiful place, Jacquie.

Lovely periwinkle, at least thats what we call it here in UK. Does it have another name in the US?

Good question; we got it in a mixed basket we bought a couple of years ago. We separated the plants into their own pots and this one took off 🙂

Yes! I took a couple of micro shots of the moss- it came up looking like tree-covered hills, lol

This looks like a place where I’d happily sit under a covered porch, listen to rain, sip wine, and read a Jacquie Biggar novel. So pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Aw, thank you 🙂
This planter sits beneath a giant cherry tree. There’s a stone elf sleeping beneath its dangling fronds and a mass of hostas in the background ❤
