Fic: Cycle One, Challenge One

The votes are tallied over at thegameison_sh, so it's time to de-anon and share my fic. I'm happy I was able to come up with something, considering all the difficulty I had with this challenge, but I can't help but be a little embarrassed when I compare my story with all of the other fantastic entries there. (Seriously guys: there's some AMAZING talent in that competition!)

Any constructive criticism as to how I can improve is, as always, welcome! Particularly, I'd like to know what you thought of my characterization: do the voices sound like Sherlock and John? Anything else you want to comment on, even if it's only to tear it to shreds, would be welcome as well.

The End of the Veggie Season, and a Yummy Fall Recipe

I've had a chatty life couple of days! So I'm going to try to get everything I want to say into one more post today. I PROMISE! So, let's get started, shall we?

First: I went with my mother out to our garden plot today to gather up our stakes and tomato cages and take down the fence our bean was growing on. (THAT was a workout: the bean vine was all up in that fence, and it took some major cardio-vascular effort to rip it out.) We also harvested the last of our crops. (Though I do have some more leeks I'll go back for this weekend.)
