In Vermont we are still buzzing from this event. The total eclipse was so beyond anything I could have imagined. The cold, the darkness, the stars, the return of light. Strangers embracing strangers. Grandchildren running wild in the darkness and screaming that it was the best day of their lives. It happened in my backyard and it was sunny (unheard of!) I see why people chase this experience. It has affected me deeply. 💕💕

Bookwormjillk That‘s great! We were only at about 85% here but I loved that for about a half hour everyone just stopped and observed nature. 1w
Aims42 I saw it from my backyard by myself and I think being with a crowd would make it infinitely more exciting 😁 It was cool, but being with others would‘ve made it even better 1w

squirrelbrain Sounds like a wonderful experience! 1w
kspenmoll It must have been gorgeous in the snow. I stayed home with the cats while F& R went to my brother‘s in VT- they traveled to Shelburne Museum where they had spots for the day. They returned, astonished, dazzled,Awestruck,with this universal & community experience. 1w

Suet624 @Aims42 It's funny because I couldn't tell if my experience would have been even better if I were by myself :) 1w
Suet624 @squirrelbrain It truly was. I'll never forget how it felt, that's for sure. 1w
quietjenn I very much relate, although I saw it in Ohio. Kinda want to become one of those eclipse chasers now. Just phenomenal in so many ways 1w
Reggie Very cool, Sue! 1w
Suet624 @quietjenn My family and I all agreed that we could see why so many people chase the totality of the eclipse. There's nothing like it. 1w
Suet624 @Reggie It's truly a once in a lifetime event. I hope you can experience it sometime. 1w

My cards are going out a little late, but should arrive before the end of the month. Seems apropos considering the sudden return to chilly temps and the occasional snow squall! I hope everyone loves the poems I selected as much as I do!! To me, spring conjures images of all the creatures peeking from their burrows and dens and snug hidey-holes! Happy Spring!! 🌸🌈🌦️🌿🐿️🐇🦡🦔

Today‘s scores from the Little Free Library on the way to my 3 hrs of ballet. It‘s going to be a lovely day. It‘s warm already. On my walk home I‘ll visit another book swap. Then I have nothing to do for the rest of the weekend but I will grab a chai, go to the beach, drink champagne in my pjs and cook up a storm ready for more work lunches and ballet dinners. I suppose I best do a bit of housework too 😢 eg change the sheets.

This did a great job of showing the ways Van Gogh and Gauguin were able to inspire, influence, learn from, teach, and compete with each other during the 9 weeks they lived together, and how it changed and informed each of their work during that period and also going forward. This interplay between artists is something I‘ve always been fascinated by, so I loved reading about this! BUT I found the writing style challenging. 👇🏼

IndoorDame It seemed at times to be narrative nonfiction, and at times to be academic writing without clear transitions between them. This made it hard for me to follow some of the more biographical sections, especially the last few chapters where he traces Vincent‘s spiral into cycles of mania and depression. I think I‘d grab another book if I wanted to read more in depth about his self mutilation and his illness. #bookspin 2mo

I‘m about to start my #bookspin book. I chose it from a “this spine is calling to me” category, but when I opened it I was surprised by my favorite endpapers of all time! I wonder if I should have a “fun endpapers” category 🤔 @TheAromaofBooks

tpixie How lovely!!! What a wonderful surprise. 🌻🌻🌻 2mo
