The only things left growing in the backyard garden are tomatoes, lots and lots of tomatoes, marigolds, my one and only surviving zinnia plant and herbs.
The first frost date is roughly November 1st in my corner of the universe.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are allowing the tomato plants to continue to flower, however, because those flowers are feeding the bumblebees. As are the marigolds and the zinnia. The more flowers the bumblebees can feed on before the cold comes the more likely the queen bees are to survive the winter.
It is a tiny way we can make the bees’ lives better and the world a better place. (smiles)

Intrepid Encounter
(This blurb is VERY rough.)
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be stolen.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She is the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her caresses produce a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of Valkyries everywhere and she will do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough touch, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her Valkyrie sisters from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
