Sunny, 73 warm degrees (22.8 degrees Celsius). Have set all the deck plants back on the deck to enjoy the weather -- at least until the weekend, when it's supposed to turn cool again.
So. Finished Fieldwork, and, as I had feared, the ending ... didn't really match up to the rest of the book. My reaction was "Wait, that was it?" Still, the rest of the book was a great read, and I'm giving it a solid A. Now I am reading Jo Walton's Among Others, and I'm three-quarters of the way through the thing, and I still can't decide if I like it or not. It's written in the form of a diary, which reminds me a lot of Louise Fitzhugh's classic Harriet the Spy, but I'm not nearly as enthralled with Walton's narrator as I was with Fitzhugh's. This is another book that's up for a Nebula Award.
Oh well. Here's a wonderful article about Eudora Welty's garden. :-)

Good point about The Talk! I would say that it might be a good thing to let her know that you are there as well as online sites if/when she has questions. The online world is all very good, but sometimes it really helps to have the personal touch available for reassurance. Caveat that I have no kids myself, and it's been a long time since I WAS a kid. Still, I think it's a good thing if mom (or dad) is around for any questions that might come up. :-D
