Our place looks stunning right now. All the trees are glowing with water logged moss. The leaves are opening and we are getting shelter from the world in our little forest. Every morning I am serenaded awake by the birds. 15 years ago I planted For-Get-Me-Nots and they have spread all over the front yard along with the pink Bleeding Hearts. Our sugar peas are up about 6 inches and reaching for the sun that isn't in the sky. The lettuce has sprouted but very small still. We are hoping for sun in the next day or so.
Friday is book club day and I am really looking forward to it. I heard that Ken Follett's book "World Without End" is going to be one of the books offered for us to pick. I was on page 316 before I heard this bit of info so I stopped reading it until after Friday. Joe and I really enjoyed Ken F's first part of the story, the book "Pillars of the Earth". Ken tells a gripping tale that is hard to put down.
I read Sea Glass these past few days and I really enjoyed the story. I think Anita Shreve is a good story teller. The book was about the
1920's and 30's and the mill workers and the strikes put on by the unions and communists to get better wages and conditions for the factory workers. I wondered how it was going to end and I was surprised. It could have been 50 pages shorter. I find I feel that way about a lot of books lately. I don't know what that means. Either the writer has drawn out the ending or I have lost interest. Today because of all the rain I will need to find a small book to read until Friday (today is Wednesday)
