Update #2 - June 2025

More good writing progress -- chapter 27 is done, bar a little tinkering. It deals mostly with Druidic initiations for Neirin and Mael, based loosely on Gwernin's initiation in The Fallen Stones. The next chapter will take Gwernin et al to Tailtiu for the Lughnasadh Óenach. This may put Fráechán in danger, since King Díarmait is likely to be there, but it's his idea to go. I'll get to that sometime in the next few days, after I clean up chapter 27.

Our cool rainy weather is over, and we're about to get some heat for Midsummer. The tomatoes will like it anyway. My biggest gardening problem now (aside from needing to do some mowing in the back yard) is the slugs which keep eating the beans. I need to put out fresh beer for them tonight, in hopes of catching more of them (slugs, not beans!).
