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'm fully expecting your avatar to be wearing flowers in his fur any minute now.

Maybe not until Armistice Day comes around again.

Scarlet, you make me want to go plant more flowers!
Yesterday I planted two climbing roses in my backyard.  this morning the dogs have dug one up and the poor thing was out in the grass.  I now have it plunked in their water bucket and will try to replant it today.  I'll put a tomato wire cage around it to discourage them. Undecided

In not too many weeks my dogwoods should be looking something like that. From 4 years ago:

My mom sent me a beautiful pink Azalea this morning. 
I'll try to get my camera and take pictures later.

Well, then another one for you.



Oh, and for those interested in the WHERE of the pictures, these roses were in the town square of a small town in Australia.

My roses are just starting to leaf out.  Gardener cuts them back in Jan.  Then after a few weeks, they take off like gangbusters.
Your shots are gorgeous, Scarlet!

Well, since Scarlet suggested it, here's a shot from this morning I had intended for the spring photo thread. These are wisteria (the purple) and redbud blossoms (the pink) during a morning thunderstorm.
