Reading list #2

Not much blog worthy going on in my life. Oh wait that’s because I have been reading.  Some have been very good books and some just ok. This has been the coldest, windiest, greyest April that I can remember I know it’s May but it finally feels like April after 60 some days of March.  Great weather for reading. Always look for a bright side…The scillas are finally blooming. I’ve driven past this yard a couple times and gasped at the expanse of blue, yesterday I stopped to take a couple pictures.  The house used to belong to a lady in my church, her yard and flowers were always perfect. Now it looks like a student rental and much neglected. To the memory of Mrs. C. She also taught 6th grade I didn’t have her for a teacher but a classmate told me she was the last teacher who read aloud to her class. Happy reading ~~Ann~~
