Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea is one of my favorite plants.  It loves the Arizona sun; turns bright colors that last for months.  They can be grown as a bush or a vine, and do very well in pots.  Pink, purple, coral, white.  Just pick your favorite color. 

In "Mystery of the Cave", Jo and Susan find a wonderful cascading mass of pink vines tumbling down from a tall tree in the jungle.  When they step behind the vines, they are instantly enchanted ...

“This could be the best fort EVER!” Susan said. 
Jo nodded.  She and Susan loved to build forts - under tables, in cardboard boxes, with blankets draped over bikes and garbage cans - but none could compare to this cozy, colorful, viney place,"

The girls return to this "fort" time and time again.  It's their secret hideaway, the starting point for their adventures.  What will they find in the jungle?  What creatures lurk under rocks, buzz in the air or hide in a mysterious cave? 
When the adventures get too scary, or sometimes just for something to do, Jo and Susan find escape and safety in their home away from home, in their fort behind the pink vines of the bougainvillea.

A Moment of Reflection

As we all know, sometimes life's circumstances can turn our lives upside down for awhile. The past couple weeks have seen life and death occupying my time, making work on the blog difficult. Nevertheless, I wanted to write a short note to tell everyone that we're still here and writing. Our next book, The Darkened Light is in process and will be finished (hopefully) this summer. In the meantime, I hope you're all anticipating the publication of The Mystery of the Cave. We're in the final editing stage right now, and can hardly wait to have the book ready for you all to purchase by the end of the year. Easter is nearing, and I hope you will take time to recognize the reason we celebrate.
Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen.
