Day in the Garden

Day in the Garden

Today was 102 and the humidity was through the roof.  We woke up at 4:30am to a thunderstorm that was right over our heads.  It was a bit scarey for sure.  But it watered the gardens that were in desperate need of a good soaking from mother nature.  A few shots from the garden today.

Summer Reading

My favorite part of summer is heading to the beach with my chair, towel, umbrella and lunch.  Plant

myself next to the water and pull from my pile of books I have been saving all winter.  The first book

that I highly recommend is, "The Paris Wife". 

What was so wonderful about this book that it did not focus on Hemingway.  It was a picture

into the life of his wife and the struggles and challenges she faced.  This is definately

a five star book.

Next on my list that I just started is, The Kitchen House.  Will report on it when finished.

In the meantime if anyone has any suggestions let me know.  After "The Kitchen House" I

plan on reading "The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B",  "Wolf Hall" and "Bringing Up the Bodies".

Ahhhh Summer.
