I loved that book .... Probably why I still have such a great affinity for rabbits. <br />Glad to hear you are doing so well after your surgery. I have a friend who had her thyroid removed several years ago, which had a cancerous tumor on it, but she continues to get good negative reports and I'm sure you will too. You'll be ready to travel again in no time.

The books sure look good! Have you started any? Looked at your hollyhock post as well. Hollyhocks are one of my absolute favorites!! When you plant them dont expect anything for a year or even two.....they require so much PATIENCE. ha ha lol After the second summer lo and behold mine started growing taller and taller in the summer heat and the sweet sunshine and suddenly they started blooming......beautiful hot pink blossoms! I was so enthralled with them. They bloomed all summer and yes, once they bloom, they will seed and come back for you to give you a show again and again. So glad your friend sent you some! I truly love them, to me they are very old fashioned flowers and just specialBeachGypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200510017404641217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-59752608621306978492016-06-21T19:49:33.450-04:002016-06-21T19:49:33.450-04:00What an intriguing list of books to keep you compa...What an intriguing list of books to keep you company while you recuperate.

We lived in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya, East Africa in 2011. The flight that Denis Finch Hatton made was directly over our home (many years later of course!)

Relax with your books and relish relaxation for its own sake. We old gals can snap back quickly, but it is ok to stretch it out. Your books sound wonderful!

Her brother sill lives there as far as I know on the farm. Thanks for commenting on my Ovington post, it was a nice village though I have to say Agatha Christie lived in our Village (and is buried in the churchyard) which I am afraid does not look any think like Ovington. Glad to hear your in the clear and hope you recover from your ordeal quicklyBilly Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053172567806569702noreply@blogger.com
