Crafts and Life

While orchard owner Meg Corey dreads the labor of manual irrigation to stave off a drought, her boyfriend, Seth, couldn’t be more excited about doing historic renovation on one of Granford’s oldest houses. Tagging along as he picks up supplies is supposed to give Meg a much-needed break, but the trip turns rotten when she almost trips over a dead body at an old saw mill’s forest reserve.
 
But the body isn’t the only frightening discovery she makes. A mysterious insect infestation seems to have migrated to the area—one that could bring serious harm to local woodlands. And it's up to Meg to find out what’s behind this sudden swarm of trouble.

Meg and Bree are having to water every tree every two days (luckily they have a spring near the orchard but even so it is hard manual work for them both!), the drought is also meaning wildfires could happen so everyone is looking out for that, but madness seems to be in the air, Seth ends up with a major renovation project after someone careers off the road and into a Colonial era house. On one of her rare days off Seth suggests to Meg they head to the local saw mill, she can get a few ideas of what she will need for her house whilst Seth discusses what he needs for the renovation.

Whilst they are taking the tour, however, Meg finds a dead body … and near it a strange insect – are the two linked? How did the body die? and what does all this mean for Granford and for the Saw Mill?!
