![]() For her students, it’s a wealth of history, art, and beauty. It’s 1938 when art teacher Juliet Browning arrives in romantic Venice. Caroline’s quest: to scatter Juliet “Lettie” Browning’s ashes in the city she loved and to unlock the mysteries stored away for more than sixty years. Her beloved great-aunt Lettie leaves her a sketchbook, three keys, and a final whisper… Venice. A transplanted Brit, Bowen divides her time between California and Arizona.įollow her on Twitter THE VENICE SKETCHBOOKĬaroline Grant is struggling to accept the end of her marriage when she receives an unexpected bequest. Her books have been translated into many languages, and she has fans around the world, including seventeen thousand Facebook followers. Bowen’s work has won twenty honors to date, including multiple Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards. Rhys Bowen is the New York Times bestselling author of more than forty novels, including The Victory Garden, The Tuscan Child, and the World War II-based In Farleigh Field, the winner of the Left Coast Crime Award for Best Historical Mystery Novel and the Agatha Award for Best Historical Novel. What will those keys open? What clues does the sketchbook contain? And will Caroline, her great niece, be able to right the wrongs of long ago? Her last bequest to her beloved great niece is a box containing three keys and a sketchbook. An old woman dying, having lived a life that her family had no idea about. What if she had another life that none of us knew about?Īnd so the story grew in my head. What if she met someone there? A sort of ‘same time, next year’. What if it was not just the city and the Easter celebrations that attracted her. And an improbable thought entered my head. “A lady does not go out unescorted after dinner,” she said.Ī few years ago I was thinking about my aunt and wondered why it was always Venice at Easter, not Rome or another Italian city. When she took me to Rome once and I suggested we go out after dinner she looked horrified. She was the typical English spinster, very prim and proper. A lifelong Italiafile, she went to Venice every Easter. Mark’s Square, as they did every morning, (before it became a thirty dollar extravaganza). We’d have had no way of contacting them during the day, unless they were taking their morning coffee in St. It must seem amazing to parents now that mine would let their children loose in a strange city in days before cell phones. You can’t…:īut I went through and yes-we came out to exactly the place I was heading. We got to know our way around really well, in fact when I went back again for the first time, taking my daughter who had just graduated from high school, I’d stop and say, “If you go through this little tunnel, I think you’ll come out…” We’d explore back alleys, climb trees in the Giardini, swim at the Lido and check out every gelato stand in the city. “See you at five o’clock,” they’d say and we were free to wander the city on our own. Every day we’d drive across the causeway, park and my parents would give us some money. When I was a teenager my parents rented a little villa just outside the city of Venice. I have a life-long love of Venice that started in my childhood. Spending a summer doing research in Venice was an absolute treat, rekindling all my memories of past vacations in that city. Who wouldn’t want to write about that magical city, where the marble palaces seem to float above the water, where a gondolier’s song echoes up from the canals. But in the case of THE VENICE SKETCHBOOK I can tell you exactly what created the story for me. ![]() An afternoon trip to Ellis Island sparked my whole Molly Murphy series. A tiny germ of an idea turns into something bigger: an overheard snatch of conversation turns into a full-blown mystery. Sometimes it isn’t possible to define this. ![]() One question writers are always asked is where we get our ideas from. We asked Rhys, what is so special about Venice? THE VENICE SKETCHBOOK (Lake Union | on sale April 13 th, 2021), opens in Venice, 1938: a country on the brink of war and a woman at the beginning of a quest that begins with locked-away memories from a family legacy.

What should I do when the compost column is full? Is this a system requirement? Nope, but it will aid in worm health and provide for better compost. Popular bedding materials include torn/shredded cardboard, shredded paper, coconut coir, peat moss, and even handfuls of potting soil. This helps maintain compost air flow and drainage and prevents an excessive rate of decomposition by adjusting the nutrient balance. DO NOT PUT ANY MEAT, DAIRY OR CITRUS PRODUCTS INTO THE COMPOST TUBE.įor best performance, we recommend adding “bedding or bulking” materials along with kitchen scraps at a 3:1 ratio (3 part bedding to 1 part kitchen scraps) when feeding. The smaller the scraps that you use, the faster the worms will make vermicompost. ![]() These include avocado pits, corn cobs, etc. Shredded brown paper or cardboard, one or more cups of worms, plus a couple handfuls of your vegetable and fruit scraps can go into the compost column.Ĭertain things will be difficult for the worms to eat and should be avoided. What is worm tea and what are its benefits? To learn more, please join our Garden Tower® vertical system Facebook user support page. Also, a sealed frozen bottle of water placed in the compost column can provide emergency relief in extreme conditions. We suggest shade for several hours during the hottest part of the day. There are some additional steps you can take to protect your worms and plants. The thermal mass of the system prevents quick temperature changes at the core which allows the worms to move around the compost and soil for refuge. They have never lost their worms in the Texas heat two years and running. We have a couple early-adopter South Texas growers that are worm fanatics and who also compost with other insects. If the plants can survive the weather it has been our experience that the evaporative cooling and evapotranspiration (cooling water loss through the leaves) of the plants releases enough energy so that the soil stays within tolerance to protect the worms and compost core. The only reports we’ve had of worms getting too hot were in conditions that killed high-heat vegetables as well - specifically in Nevada at sustained highs of 116-122☏ in 2013. From the high rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona to Apple Valley California we have hundreds of happy Garden Tower® system supporters in the hottest states. ![]() Saturday went by in a flash between running 3 panels, cosplay pre-judging, the costume contest (which you can watch here), and my booth where I sold bunny ears & cosplay prints.

To tab between just about everything, not just fields, you'll want to turn on your Mac's Full Keyboard Access feature. Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to reach out! We can help you set your Mac to tab to those menu buttons and also show you how to move Entries between Accounts, and then go over the other items you're interested in. At the present, I am sticking with Checkbook and hoping it will grow into a great mix of strong functionality and interface excellence. Overall, Checkbook beats competing app Savings for functionality, especially reconciling, but falls short of the outstanding Savings interface. Kudos for allowing different shades of color for credit or debit items. Default as you wish, but please give users the option to customize the recently entered item. For me, that is hard to read and disjointed in appearance. My least favorite trait of Checkbook is that your most recent item is colored very strangely in white text, boldface, with black shadow on a gray background. When tabbing through an entry, the tabbing skips by a drop-down menu - it would be so much smoother to tab to the menu and use arrows, etc. For example, all data is on one line like a plain spreadsheet, but two lines per entry might be easier to read. General interface is polished only to a basic level. ![]() Checkbook's functionality is above average, and the reconciling routine is a great virtue - well done on that! Checkbook accomplishes the basics but lacks simple things I need, such as ability to drag and drop a mis-entered item from one account to another.

I just happened to go to the App Store and started reading some of the reviews and learned a couple of new little tricks!! Yep, the creators actually responded to those who had issues or concerns or a wish list and BAM now I have even more tips and tricks I've learned. Who knows, I may still have things to find out about this app and might have to update this later! If you are still in doubt, go to the website of the product and you can get a free trial (up to 100 entries) before commiting and paying for it!!!! :) This is a great app for someone who wants “easy” but high quality and basic. When I bought my new Mac I knew I wanted an easy to use app that would do the balancing and math for me and this app sure fit the bill! It’s easy to set up and use, the only “wish” I have would be if it synced with my bank online! I could have paid for an app that would do that, but the prices!!!! Gesh.
