Peeking into the blog.

Just checking to make sure it's still there.

*SIGH* I'm tired. Watching the Olympics. Zoning out. Reading other blogs. Thinking about how I SUCK at blogging. Yeah. I think I might put myself into a coma with this blog. I swear I hear crickets chirping. No news From the Front Step. OH! Wait! I lied! I saw a turkey cross the street twice, there's a woodchuck that realizes across the street is the safest place to eat, I've stepped on one slug and 7 snails and something freakin' flew past me across the lawn tonight. No clue what it was. Fox, cat? More shroom's and fungi's are blooming in the yard. No more obscene ones. I guess that would be more in the Green Thumb Project area. Fruits and veggies coming along. Looks like it might be a tough winter by the amounts of fruits and nuts on the trees and bushes. Had some yummy cukes and tomatoes out of the garden. Black walnuts are as big as limes in the trees and acting like freakin' grenades if the unwary walks under a tree. The snake hasn't eaten any more of my fish. Once again holding steady at 7 fish. Hmm, wait. I didn't blog about the damn fish stealing snake. There's a thought. For later. *YAWN*

Off The Shelf

This is out of my personal library. Just thought I'd share what I'm reading now and then and also get a couple shots of my bookcases.

Some people dream of a gourmet kitchen, but my dream bonus room is a library. With atmosphere.

"The Shelters Of Stone", Jean Auel. I've read this before, many times. I'm the type of person who keeps their favorite books and authors and goes back to visit them often. A second reading often turns up things I have missed, or brings new meanings to light. A third and more re-visit is just to settle into the comfort of a favorite book- like watching a favorite move over again. I read very fast (no formal speed reading class) and retain what I read. It has been said that I devour books. If SS gets a new book I'd like to read, she just hands it over because she knows she will get it back the next day. Lol.

I need more shelves. Like floor to ceiling shelves.

But any who, this is what I am reading at the mo. I love her series and the real attention to detail she uses in her stories. I do tend to skip over them when I pick up the books for the third or fourth time. Auel is a detail rich author (Tom Clancy is another.) and she has mucho research under her belt. I'm waiting on the next book she promised in the series and it's taking lot's of time. She has said she's tired of writing it, lol, so I just have to wait. Pick up a book you have enjoyed and revisit for a while.
