My sunflower garden…
August, September and October have been busy months! My days have been filled with projects and activities, mostly outdoors and mostly in our garden. But we have also done some enjoyable traveling, including a lovely trip in late September to Salt Lake City to spend some time with my 96-year-old mother.
Reading has continued and been very enjoyable, but I just haven’t wanted to spend time writing reviews. Blogging has continued, but almost entirely on my garden blog, which is my online journal of our gardening life. My garden is where my heart is right now, so please do stop in and visit me at My Garden in the Grove.
Although many of the books I’ve been reading in the last few months are about gardens or gardening, I have read other things, too. Here’s a list:
-
- So much to learn about gardening from Celia Thaxter!
-
- Another enjoyable D.E. Stevenson…
-
- I love the TV series…
-
- I enjoyed reading the stories of these women and their gardens.
-
- I need to write a review of this one. Very good!
-
- Fascinating look into the life of an adventurer and plant hunter…
-
- A lovely little classic…
-
- I love this American Woodlands series…
-
- Another rereading of this book…
-
- Not as good as her first one…
-
- My first Kate Morton…
-
- I love Rosamunde!

I’ve not yet read the 2nd Anne Hillerman book. I liked the first. And I’ve only read one Kate Morton book, Distant Hours or something like that. I’ve heard good things about The Forgotten Garden. Beautiful sunflowers, Robin! And how wonderful that you guys got to visit with your mother. I remember you telling about her and her reading several years ago. I hope she is well.

Thanks, Kay, and thanks for asking about my mom. She is doing pretty well…continues to be a wonderful role model for me on how to age gracefully. She goes to exercise class 3 or 4 times a week (she says “you’ve got to keep moving.”), and she’s still my reading inspiration. I am so grateful for her.

Thanks, Pat. It was a lovely summer and I’m having a hard time giving it up this year. The darker, shorter days are hard on me. I haven’t been commenting as much on blogs lately, either. I always love to visit your blog(s), though, and read your posts.
