Warm and humid after more rain yesterday. Very blah, blah, and blah because I haven't been sleeping well at all. I'm fairly sure it's the anastrozole, so ... at least there's that?

Finished Kate Atkinson's Life After Life and really liked it, although it left me a little sad. It's a book I'd love to see filmed -- if they could do Cloud Atlas then anything is possible.

Started Tan Twan Eng's The Garden of Evening Mists last night -- it is a slow start but otherwise good.

Had to put up tomato fencing and stakes for the tomato plants. Some of them are four feet tall. O_o

That sounds like an interesting book!
We had an extraordinary amount of rain on Friday, but today is lovely and sunny. I went on a short hike in the foothills. There was still patches of snow there because the rain fell as snow at the higher elevations.

Oh I hadn't looked at The Garden of Evening Mists, I meant Life After Life.

My friend who is far more knowledgeable on tomatoes than I am recommends pruning back the plants if they start getting too big and scraggly. That way the plants put more energy into bearing fruit than growing.

I'm currently between book (I've got a fall back, the non-fiction "Salt" that I've been going through, which I take up again between books). But I've got thenext reservation on Emma Donohue's "Astray" at the library.
