Turning 2,020 pages through the winter months
This short memoir came to me as an advance reader from the library. I enjoyed the fluctuation between letters from her mother and her prose throughout the story. This story partially takes place in Davis, which felt unusual– I haven’t read many books that mention Davis, California as a location. Eun Ji gives lots of
I was moved to write my response to a Bible study I attended. While my Christianity is nontraditional, it is my religious background. I attended seminary in my 40’s to try and understand Christianity at a deeper level. I love the Bible and its great stories. I am grateful for a space to share my
Yesterday I hosted an art show in the yard– rain or shine. It rained on and off throughout the day, which was better than what I had expected. I think about a dozen people came through and the afternoon turned to evening. I used my whiteboard to orient visitors and even gave one tour at
I finished this study in July and it now joins the sculpture garden. There are quite a few elements here and again, passersby are welcome to move things around or add to the green study.

Received an email with an important post from Barbara some time back. It will not link to the site here, nor is it present here. Don’t know what this is all about but I wanted to responds so… Yes, Lost Words, a gorgeous book. Beautiful to look at, to read, to ponder. I adore Robert
I believe I found out about this lovely book from our blog and reading Brain Pickings. I plan to order it for a Christmas gift. I found out that an album is also available. The album puts Macfarlane’s poetry from Lost Words to music. The illustrations by Morris are lovely. Macfarlane was inspired to write
I picked up this book from the library and gave it a quick read over the last few days. It is jarring and intense, and if you are a survivor of abuse, it is definitely triggering- so be warned. Eve’s father was sexually, physically and emotionally abusive to her from the age of 5. It
