This is going to be a GREAT month for reading. I just know it. Why? Because later this month my 'significantly other' and I are going away for a four-day weekend, and all we plan to do is . . .

Welcome to a whole new year!
I admit, I make some half-hearted new year's resolutions around this time... usually it centers around more exercise, less eating... more listening, less talking... . . .

Change is in the air... colder nights, the leaves are turning, I'm making soups instead of salads, and I'm drinking more tea than ice water. Ahhh - I LOVE fall.

Happily, I'm about to embark on yet another reading retreat. This time it's a week in Door County, with nothing on the agenda except for biking, reading and napping. I've got a stack of books . . .

I mean "Happy May Day!"

It's the peak of summer - the garden is growing with the occasional help of a heavy dousing, things are slow at work, and it's just too dang hot out these days to do much of anything. . . .

My fiance and I were just in Oregon for a long weekend, and since we flew into Portland, couldn't help but pay a visit to the Mecca of all bookstores - Powell's. The place is enormous - covering . . .

So I really thought is was spring - really, I was pretty darn sure - so I got out all my gardening books, started making plans for the garden, and then.... snow. And more snow. And snow mixed with rain. . . .

I find myself stumbling between fiction and non these days. I just received four books in the mail - two on gardening, one cookbook, and one book on making cheese. But oddly in the winter months, . . .

Garden guides, garden guides, garden guides.....
Okay, so maybe I'm starting to do a little summer reading, too, when I'm not obsessing over the state of my backyard. A recent road trip from Arizona . . .

Is it really September already? Can it be true that summer has come and gone, and the fall chill is here to stay? Is the state fair really over? How did I miss this?

April - a season of tricksters, fools and foolishness, budding flowers, rainshowers, and in Minnesota, snowstorms. A tricky month, indeed!

The State Fair is officially over, the kids are heading back to school, and in the past week there's been a little chill in the evening air that foreshadows the onset of fall. There's still work . . .

First Off, my apologies for the late start: I've spent the last week in bed with the flu with not even enough energy to pick up a book, let alone read it or write about it! It seems to be going round, . . .
