"Uh-huh." Well. Where in this world has... no, not there, those'll just eat her...
There's a place.
And past a whiff of smoke, there's a garden. It's mid-April, and the little town in northern California is warm and in bloom, and despite the fact that the residents of the house are long gone and the garden is a little weedy and overgrown, there is wisteria.
And roses.
And alyssum, lots of that, tiny puffs of white flowers spilling over the edges of things.
There is jasmine, too, and an ornamental pond that hasn't had any fish in it for a while but is rich in water lillies. There is ivy and there are bright orange California poppies. There are ornamental cherry trees, in pale pink bloom, and there are orange and lemon trees, with clean white flowers just starting to open. There are lillies in several varieties, shapes, and colors. There is lupine, purple and blue and pink.
