BOOKS!
 |
How are you doing with your reading choices these days?
I've found some more bargains at the local Dollar Tree shop - a quick stop
whilst doing that grocery run on Thursday.
Four books caught my eye, and four dollars were all they cost. . . . . .
. . . . . . just can't beat those prices!
I was not familiar with any of these authors, but a quick look
and I realized these books might provide interesting reading.
First - tucked in here is the book I've been reading for a while and completed last night.
In Patagonia - by Bruce Chatwin - "an exhilarating look at a place that still retains
the exotic mystery of a far-off, unseen land."
I visited Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego two years ago so really enjoyed
reading more about its history.
"The masterpiece of travel writing that revolutionized the genre and made its author
famous overnight."

A Whole Life
Robert Seethaler
Over the weekend I read this short book.
Loved this book.
Very simple story, often sad, but with immense depth to it, beautifully written.
I would encourage everyone to read this book which tells of a whole life
in terms of satisfied and complete.
The remaining books in my pile will be read as these summer days progress.

This morning, up early again. Birds singing as the sun rose, already 75F and reaching 90F later with showers possible.
Writing from the gazebo while watching parent cardinals search for breakfast for their offspring - the three loud
chirping babies who fledged yesterday from a nest in my neighbor's shrub.
Familiarize yourself with the sounds of your
bird community. . . . .the restorative benefits of birdsong
are many and lovely.
I hope you tune in.
