Quote de jour
"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents."
~Emilie Buchwald.
In between errands yesterday, I went on a photo frenzy in my favorite park as evidenced above. Not one of my better efforts but I'm pressed for time.I thank my mom for instilling my love of both reading and my love of nature.
Re: reading, it was more of a writing than reading week which for me is a good thing.
I'm happily half way through (with no skimming!) Connie May Fowler's latest novel How Clarissa Burden Learned To Fly.

I'm happily half way through (with no skimming!) Connie May Fowler's latest novel How Clarissa Burden Learned To Fly.
In this moody novel, Fowler (Before Women Had Wings) presents a "Mrs. Dalloway" day in the life of writer Clarissa Burden, her unhappy marriage to a photographer husband who works at her Florida home with nubile nude models. Plagued by writer's block and mommy dearest childhood memories, ghosts both real and imagined, Clarissa leaves home on the summer solstice, a day filled with cemeteries, magic realism, near-death experiences in a meandering plot filled with snappy internal dialogue.
I'm eager to delve into Monica Fagerholm's novel The American Girl
Whoop, I am late, gotta go...

Happy Mom day! I like seeing the author photos. A picture tells a 1000 words and all..

That quote is so true. I'm so grateful that both my parents instilled a love of reading in me at an early age. I can't imagine a life without books.
Both of the books sound great - adding them to my list.

Library books are just the best invention... (I'm assuming they are library books from the labels...)

Yes, Missy most of what I read comes from the best library system in country. I can order anything I want online and gets delivered to my local library.

Beautiful flowers. Hope you had a great day. We were away. So sore can barely move.
I will have to look into those two books.
