She wanted to help so badly!

This is the green time of year at my house. The first flush of spring blooms is over. The spring plants are relaxing and taking a well-earned break, and the summer bloomers are resting up for their big day. This time of year, everything digs in its roots and grows. Not much color in the yard other than green. Well, and this (and all its friends).

Rose bloom

Happily the lawn has slowed down almost enough that I can keep up (with my zippy new cordless string trimmer!) but the tomato plants are growing, the raspberry plants are growing… everything is basking in the sun and the rain and just doing its thing.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
