Rereading for details: the kids ask why Bob has a cast in only this picture. I told them I'd ask the author. They didn't believe me. I messaged him on Instagram, and he got back to me within the hour. "Bob has gout, a build up of Utica (sic uric) acid in the joints of his foot. It's from a diet of very rich food. It was referenced as '"The disease of kings'" because only the wealthy class could afford such culinary luxuries."

Ruthiella Kudos to you for asking and to the author for responding! That is awesome! 😃 1y

mandarchy @Ruthiella I was very impressed that he got back to me within the hour. Some authors never reply and some take months. But I love hearing back from them. 1y

Apex Predators: The World's Deadliest Hunters, Past and Present | Steve Jenkins

Slow lemonade stand day. Noticed the kids came in and got library books without my noticing to read while they waited for customers 😍

I thought this book was hysterical. It's the second book this week I've read where the predator couldn't eat their prey because they are just too nice.

The Wild Life of Our Bodies: Predators, Parasites, and Partners That Shape Who We Are Today | Rob Dunn

i enjoy so much how rob dunn writes about the missing parts of us in a way that makes you forget that he‘s talking about intestinal worms. it‘s so easy to flinch in disgust over bugs & bacteria, but dunn just gently insists they‘re essential to our bodies & lives.

Owls | Sandra Markle

Soooo, in rearranging my books from overstuffed shelves and assorted other locations, I have come to the conclusion that I should actually try reading all the Owlcrate books I've accumulated - I've read 3(?) I think. This shelf is MOST of the ones I haven't gotten to yet. Which should I read first? HELP!

Ruthiella Make a bingo board with ‘em and leave it up to chance! 😀 4y

Traci1 @Ruthiella ooh, that's a good idea. 4y

In Our Backyard: Human Trafficking in America and What We Can Do to Stop It | Nita Belles

This is in our backyard looking to the fenced garden in our western neighbor‘s yard. More dogwood/azalea combos!

We‘ve got good buds on the peonies and clematis. Our irises are late-blooming, but they‘re growing!

But honestly, I can‘t wait for you to see the calla lilies later in the summer. They were a bonus with the house and they flourish pretty much on their own. It‘s wild!

My favorite flowers are peonies and irises, if forced to choose. This is our east-facing peony with lots of buds getting ready to burst! Will post more as they open!

Megabooks @Centique @Bookwormjillk @Lesanne @Freespirit @kspenmoll @Eggs @Come-read-with-me @readordierachel @Meaw_catlady @Suet624 @LeahBergen thanks everyone!!! My mom did a lot of work in the yard in the 90s and she has quite the green thumb!! My dad does a great job maintaining her hard work now. We have great soil for flowers, but it doesn‘t seem to work well for a vegetable garden, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and Leah, most of the year I‘d rather be in 🇨🇦💙🥶 4y
