Little Libraries

Plans for making one : here

I love to read all kinds of books. Each one brings me to a different place and time or a better understanding of something. Here in Asheville was the first time I had seen these little libraries on parks and in front of houses. When I recycle my books, I choose one or two to add to one of these free gift places.

It seems like magic that after many tries I got my blog back.

New house surprises

The butterfly bush covers the whole window

Part of the fun of a new home is to see what comes up and blooms as the seasons change. This butterfly bush just grew and grew until it was above the window..now it pushing at the roof overhang. It is very popular with the bees, butterflies and even a few hummingbirds. Nature keeps me amused.
