KB Book of the Day
The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I've put all my flower pictures in one file and will be sharing them one per day, since everyone deserves flowers every day.

Scarlet, you're so sweet.  Thank you.  I'm beginning to wonder if the poor flowers around here will ever get a chance to pop up.

I planted three rose bushes today - new ones - and transplanted three that were in pots.  Those three were the mini type roses. 
Tomorrow I'll plant two climbing roses.

photobucket has a collage effect now, so here's a bouquet of roses.  Australian ones.  

Funny story about some of them actually....  We went to visit a winery.  Well, scarlet isn't fond of wine, so while everyone else was touring the winery, I was taking pictures of the rose garden.

Enjoy!

And remember, these are thumbnails, so click for bigger version...

In that case she should be able to supply an entire florist's shop every day.

Thank you, Scarlet. I have been wanting to take a walk around the neighborhood and take pictures of some of the flowers around here and your thread inspired me to finally do it! The walls are so boring in the military housing and paint gives me migraines, so now I have a couple dozen beautiful flower pictures to hang on my walls! Thanks!

That is what I did on my trip to an origami conference (PCOC) in San Francisco last fall. (Both the humming and wearing a flower in my hair. Grin)
