pink and beautiful grace notes
brighten my days but
rains usher in the new month
I was very pleased to find these luscious flowers about 2 weeks ago. I took a few more floral photos which I will share another day during our gloomy winter months when I need a "pick me up".
I apologize to my blogging friends if you see me less these days. Even if I don't leave as many comments as I usually do I am still reading most of what you write or post.
I've been busily trying to catch up on my crochet-a-long but didn't have time to post an update last Thursday. I'll try to post a progress report and photos on Thursday.
I've also finished two of the books I borrowed from the library. Reading borrowed books is the most frugal hobby one can have.
Of the two books I borrowed and read, I enjoyed Almost French best. It is an engaging memoir of a young Aussie woman who ends up meeting a Frenchman on her travels around the world. He invites her to his country and they end up making a life together. The book highlights some of the cultural differences between France and Australia and the difficulties of making a new life in a new country. I've read many such books and this one is one of the better ones.
The Tiger's Wife is set in an unnamed Balkan country. Although it starts off well I lost the story line along the way. Perhaps I took it too literally while the author likely meant it to tell a few folk tales as told to her by her grandfather. In my humble opinion I just don't think the two main folk stories in the book hold together well as one book.
My little poem says that rains started the month of November. We had a bonus day today (Sunday) and I took advantage of it for a brief walk after church. I hope you are having some nice spots of weather too.
Well my friends that is what is happening in my corner of the world. Come by and visit again soon :-)
