Thanks for the tag, @MoonWitch94 #two4tuesday @TheSpineView

1. When the tree gives up. This year it was 1/1.

2. Rain. Snow means shoveling, even though our HOA is supposed to take care of it...

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 1y
MoonWitch94 Ughhh yes, I do not like the shoveling. It stresses me out 😵‍💫 1y

I took the quiz on 1000 popular books, and I don‘t know what my score means other than I went through a big John Grisham/ Stephen King phase and I actually did the readings in English class. I‘m proud of it anyway.

I bet we got 10 inches of precipitation in 20 minutes. I don‘t know if that is heavy rainfall, but something crazy just happened and there is a small river flowing down the street outside my front door. So I guess it‘s books and Netflix tonight. Yay!

Crazeedi That's crazy! Stay safe! 5y
Leftcoastzen Wow , be safe! Though having to stay in to read and watch Netflix, never that bad. 5y
Nute @Crazeedi @Leftcoastzen Thank you! Ridiculous amounts of rain continues to downpour from the sky every day. It falls hard and fast with the craziest lightning and the loudest thunder. There are flash floods but not a city under water. I am thankful for rain, but prefer rain showers to a ‘Noah, please build another boat‘ kind of scenario.😬Yes, staying indoors with books (and popcorn🍿) is fabulous and Netflix is always a “win-win” option.😀 5y
Crazeedi @Nute my garden has basically drowned because of all the rain we've had. So I hear you!! 5y

This was a good re-read - at times, it read almost like a movie, as it‘s very fast-paced and plot-driven. But I enjoyed it very much and learned a bit more about American trial process.

I‘m super excited to report that my decluttering project is FINALLY nearing the end. I chose this re-read (of which I remember nothing) for my next book with the idea that I will get through it quickly and get to move on with Project Declutter.

#gratitude30 I post lots of Florida #weather pictures, some of beautiful sunshine and some of storms. This is of the aftermath of an intense thunderstorm. The rain filled a wetlands rain garden that had been bone dry the day before. With the water came birds, insects, and incredible sounds and beauty. I felt privileged to witness it.

LauraBeth That is so beautiful! 5y

No #audiowalk tonight. Instead, I was grinning like a loon as raindrops fell on my head!!!! It's 25 degrees cooler than usual right at this moment! And we so desperately needed this. The poor firefighters battling the Burro Fire have desperately needed some help! I heard it's 50% contained as of today (but 25000 acres have burned 😕). Praying it rains for hours!! ☔️🌧🌵🎉❤️☔️🌧

This is my day. Actually, it keeps raining just enough to keep us from taking a walk. But not too much to keep from reading 😈

I need to get up and clean before I go pick up my mother for a week's visit. But....
It's rainy and very cozy in bed with Persephone. I just want to play on Litsy and read.
She is not amused that I wanted her to pose.

Back in the day, I read and mostly enjoyed John Grisham's first five books. But I never got around to his sixth -- until last week. The Rainmaker is a courtroom novel pitting a rookie lawyer against a giant insurance company. The book is a little overstuffed with subplots and side characters, and the trial doesn't have enough drama (too much goes the hero's way for the outcome to feel uncertain), but overall it was very enjoyable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Rainmaker was the first book from Grisham I ever read. Before that I thought he would be one of those authors I would never read or like. Then I happened to get this for free and decided to give it a go. I was very surprised to find out how good it was. Since then I have read some more of his books.
