RE: Book Progress, The Heat Dome, and Our Complicated Relationship with Mother Nature

I really like the Prairie Fire variety. The color is amazing in spring and it's supposed to be fairly drought and disease tolerant. I was amazed how quickly the beetles appeared—seemingly overnight. We battled them for years on our grapevines and raspberries at our previous house.

It's so strange how we begin to notice certain things everywhere sometimes. I always take that as a message from the universe.

Thank you my friend! I'm so excited about this. I'm already planning my next one, which will be a collection of essays.
