I can almost guarantee that I was the only person in the city that was hosing off their deck in the rain… in her robe. I oddly don’t mind gardening in the rain. Weeding is easier for sure. I actually had no intention of gardening today. I went outside to watch the rain for a bit, and then one thing lead to another. Next thing I knew I was rearranging plants and cleaning the deck. No sense doing all that work, and not hosing off the thin layer of dirt dust that was all over the place. I popped my head back in the house to pick out a few books for you, but I am heading back out. The rain has kept me indoors for so long that I have a bit of cabin fever. Might be a good time to plant a few tulip bulbs while I am at it! I will change out of my robe to do it though. FUN!!

Haelo Marley lives every day as a lie. She is a mermaid, but not the fishtail-and-seashell-bra type. A real mermaid. A Candeon, posing as a normal, San Diego teenager in her last year of high school, while secretly diving into the sea in order to survive.
