Yes. That's how good she was. I always appreciate a villain well portrayed. Remember, there is no light without darkness.

Snape is number one on my favorites, in book and movie form. Next is Hagrid, also for book and movie form. Bellatrix Lestrange is third, as played by Helena Bohnam Carter. I didn't remember her that well from the books but her character on screen was awesome.

We spent the last two nights with the Hatfields & McCoy's, shown on the history channel. I'm not sure how close it is to the real story of the feuding families. It seems there was really no good guys and everyone deserves some blame.

I picked up three at the used book sale at our library. All for $1.50. The Green Mile / King The Black Tower / P.D. James Velocity / Koontz

The Falls by Ian Rankin. I've become a big fan of the Rebus series.

Those look lovely, sparkchaser. It's definitely something to consider for future projects. It creates a nice, tidy looking garden. I definitely see the benefits. I have a very rocky spot that this would work perfectly for. You'd need a jack hammer to get through it. A raised bed would work...

Okay, one day, one sore back and one sunburn later......tahdahhhhh! Tomorrow I have to drive down the stakes a little more and run a little bit of twine between them for a trellis (sp?) I got a little of everything. Lots of herbs and green onions. The poles are for green beans and...

I don't know much about gardening. Wouldn't that require building a containment system to keep the beds in place? That sounds like a big investment in material. Unless there is a way of raising a bed I don't know about, which is most definitely possible.

I'm so excited! This weekend I will be planting my first attempt at a vegetable garden. I'm going to try some tomato's, peppers, green onions, collards and some other green leafies and maybe some cucumbers. Probably some herbs too. My yard is 100% sand so I had to have someone dig a big...

I do both and still use my library card as well. It's nice to have so many choices. :) I can totally relate. Not only do I have a shelf full of cookbooks I now also have a three-ring binder full of recipes I've printed off the internet. It's like crack, I tell ya'!

The Lumby Lines by Gail Fraser. First in the Lumby series. A nice, cozy read that makes you want to make soup and snuggle up with your dogs.

I hope your weather guru's are as wrong as ours usually are. You'd think they would have a better track record since we rarely get anything besides sun but you'd be wrong. I wish you well.

Area 187 - Almost Hell - Lowther, Eric House of Dead Trees - Redux, Rod

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I really enjoyed it. It's been a while since I've read a sci-fi/fantasy story.

Ragtime by E. L. Doctrow (Used, at 8$) The Casebook of Hercule Poirot - Christie (Used at $10) Lady Amina and the Real Downton Abbey - The Countess of Carnarvon (really?.) New, but afterall, it is written by a Countess.

Is anyone currently reading to them? The best way to open a childs heart to literature is by reading to them. There are some nice online places you can go for suggestions about what books are good for what ages. Encourage their parents to read to them daily for about 10 minutes to start with...

I know! While I enjoy a good zombie romp I wish that BBC would have some nice british murder mysteries on again. I remember a few years ago we got an afternoon full of mysteries on Saturday or Sunday. I loved the Midsomer Murder's series and, of course, Poirot mysteries. All we are saying...

Not a bad weekend. In between never ending loads of laundry and cleaning I managed to plant an orange tree in the back yard, and some herbs and flowers into containers on the patio. I did read Ian Rankin Hide and Seek. Watched some catastrophy movies on tv (Polar Storm, Ice Twisters, that...

I had a conversation today with my good friend who lives far off. We have these 3 to 4 hour phone conversations every month or two. She is urging me to get the first season and watch it to catch up so we can talk about it next time. She loves the show and it's her families "must see" Sunday...

The Moonstone / Wilkie Collins. I already have it and I've been meaning to read it.
