A new week. Maria sold out all of her raven potholders; congratulations. We had rain, then sun. Our zucchini pancakes were wonderful. We got some tomatoes from the vegetable garden, they are ripening on the windowsill. Bishop Gibbins is awash in healthy breakfast snacks, thanks. Tomorrow I go to the Mansion for my Meditation Class, I’ve moved Memory Care to Friday. Tonight, I’m hooked on Katie Hefner’s new book, The Rachel Incident. I just got a new book, the Last Ranger, by Peter Heller, nailed as a powerful story about nature, the mayhem of our national parks in summer, and a fight to save the wolves from poachers.
I haven’t read a word but the reviews sucked me right in. I’m having a good book festival. And I haven’t even gotten to Adam Dahlgliesh.
More later. They are supposed to turn off the blog for some server work but haven’t yet. I’m going to stop. See you in the morning.
Vegetables ripening from our own garden.
I love these two flowers, I sometimes think they are in love and are now living together.
This white bunch of Lisianthus “echo milk” is soft and beautiful and among the most calming flowers I ‘ve yet seen.
Strawberry Fields growing and sprouting.
Sheep as a silhouette. I am connecting the flowers to the farm.
Minnie is at peace, still alive and ending her life as a barn cat would. She seems more comfortable than ever.
your *strawberry fields* flowers are gorgeous…..I’ll have to research because never seen or heard of them prior to your photos. Lovely. And glad Minnie is comfortable……and on her journey still…..it’s a long one…..but she knows what she’s doing… I’m with you all the way, Minnie.

Thanks
May I offer “American wolf: a true story of survival and obsession in the West” by Nate Blakeslee, as a recommendation. Nonfiction. Amazing depictions of wolf pack activity, individual wolves’ personalities and leadership behavior related in accounts by the park rangers, scientists and dedicated observers who documented/loved them, the heart-breaking behavior of their societal opposites, and the shatteringly destructive effect of their actions. I could only read it once.
