Butterfly Bushes With Flyaway Prices
So I went to one of the popular chains that has a garden center with the intention of buying a butterfly bush. I picked it up and put it in the cart then glanced at the price tag, forty-two bucks. WT_? And promptly put it back. Last weekend we went to the same store in a different town. Their butterfly bushes (a size smaller) were $6.98. Needless to say that one went in my cart and stayed there.
I also picked up this little coleus.

The Star of Seismic Crimes Is A Catfish
With us today is our blog buddy Chrys Fey with a fun post on a....catfish! Welcome Chrys. Let's hear about that catfish.
In 2008, Tropical Storm Fay hit Florida. She became the
first storm in recorded history to make landfall in Florida four times! She
released so much rain from her cloudy hands that the road and field across from
my trailer flooded, making it look like I lived in the middle of a lake. I
watched the water rise with growing anticipation. When the water lapped at the
top step, I was afraid it would spill over and leak across my living room.
While I nervously kept an eye on the water, a cat fish
swam up to greet me. He hung out around my front steps for several minutes
before swimming away. I remember hoping he’d find a lake or pond before the
earth swallowed the rain, but it continued to rain for days. I was strained in
my trailer for about a week, writing and suffering from cabin fever.
Tropical Storm Fay (as well as Hurricane Francis)
inspired Hurricane Crimes. She also had another impact on me. Shortly after she
finally decided to leave I came up with the last name for my pen name: Fey.
Although I chose it for its magical meaning, I still believe the storm gave my
muse a nudge in the right direction.
And that cat fish I saw later became the star of Seismic
Crimes.
EXCERPT:
Mosquitoes swarmed inside the car, attracted to the foot
of murky water at the bottom. The hum of their music beat against her eardrums.
She moved to the driver’s door and bent down to peer
through the window. For a moment, she saw Donovan sitting there, his body
hunched over the steering wheel. She nearly lifted her hands to bang on the
window as she had done before, but she heard his voice behind her and knew the
vision wasn’t real. When she blinked, her eyelids swiped the vision away like windshield
wipers. Movement caught her attention. Cupping her hands against the glass, she
saw ripples dance along the water’s surface. She squinted to see better and
vaulted backward when something leapt out of the water, somersaulted in the
air, and landed with a splash. A catfish had made Donovan’s car into a swimming
pool. She couldn’t stop the laughter from bubbling out of her mouth.
Donovan came up beside her. “What’s so funny?”
Beth pointed. “You have a catfish in your car.”
Donovan bent down to have a look for himself. “So I do.”

Bella
I heard my cat cry and went to investigate, afraid something was wrong. She was in the kitchen, staring up at the cabinet her treats are kept in. Really? When my daughter was young, I heard her confide in a friend that if she cried, she'd get what she wanted. Now this sounds like my kids were spoiled. They really weren't, but they knew how to play me:) Apparently, she let Bella in on the secret.
