pickThis volume of poetry, prose, and poetry criticism is pure Mary Oliver. Every word considered, and every sentence crafted. She focuses on her own life, and her relationship to the natural world around her. Full of wonder, contentment, and sheer beauty.

so-soJust came back from book club discussing this month‘s pick. I wouldn‘t have on my own picked this up but I found it a quick, lighthearted read. My only major gripe was that I found Prudence a bit TOO idealistic.
“Usually the recipe for a bestseller is to give people what they want. My challenge is and was: give them what they do not expect. Be severe with them. The world of media is full of easy answers, wash-and-wear philosophies, instant ecstasies, what-me-worry Epiphanies. Probably readers want a little more.”
― Umberto Eco

pickThis was a really cute book! I love Cath and her fandom obsession.
I think the best thing I got out of this was an inspiration to start writing again.

1. A veterinarian, a writer, a tragic heroine, & an Egyptologist.
2. I‘m a SAHM & a semi-pro genealogist. So — spot on!
3. 9yo me is STOKED. We did not know “genealogist” was a job description.
4. The next 20 yrs will be hard. You are not alone. Your best friends are on their way. You matter.
5. Here are my dog, the new water heater installed today, & the passenger manifest for my h.s. bestie‘s Belarusian great-great-gma.
New books! 3 from Books Inc. in Mountain View, and one from a friend. Which to start once I finish my current book (the wonderful Memory Called Empire) ? 🤔 #bookhaul
It's been stressful this week so I'm crossing my fingers that this will give me some comfort. 🤞🤞
