This is a good introduction to the wonderful beneficial creatures we can find in the garden and on our farms.

I just finished this one. Here is the link to my gr review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3793776358. I enjoyed this one better than “The Singing Stones”. The Year(s) of Phyllis A. Whitney roll on.

Major score. I‘ve been looking for this one for a long time. It‘s loosely based on a crime that was committed in Australia. I found this at the Maple Street Antiques Mall in Mason, Michigan. #mittenlitten

LeahBergen Nice! I have this one with a different cover. 2w
quirkyreader @LeahBergen I‘ve seen the other cover as well. I hope you are staying safe with all the fires going on. 2w
LeahBergen @quirkyreader Thank you, I am! They are quite a bit north of me but we have been blanketed with a lot of the smoke for the last few days. 2w
CarolynM @LeahBergen Nasty! Hope the fires are out soon. 2w

Yesterday was our Friends of The Library plant sale out in Mason, Michigan. And yours truly was out in unseasonably cold weather working it. And afterwards I went to other places in town to get more plants. #mittenlitten.

Day after Independent Bookstore Day. Today was our 75th book and paper show and I found these wonderful tittles. The one in the upper left corner is from 1895 and it‘s a dictionary about the Bible. The bee book is from 1910. The geography book is from 1957. The insects field guide‘s original imprint was from 1918, but my mine is a reprint from 1930. The OT was a major score. It‘s a side by side of the KJV, RSV and Hebrew from 1897.

This is part 2 of my shelfies. I‘m still working on it, but hope to have I finished soon. There is. “Classics” course that I‘m taking that has many books on it that I have already read, but I thought I would group them all together while working through the course. I‘ve also got all of my physical copies of my Spurgeon books on this shelf as well.

Stuck at home today due to a pressure front migraine. Thank you winter storm Olive. As everyone can guess from my posts, I don‘t like to miss work.

The 40 Day Sugar Fast is my book for Lent.

For my Bible reading I am currently on the Book of Esther found in the Apocrypha.

I hope everyone makes it through Winter storm Olive safely.
