Now, is that not the most unimaginative title of a post ever?
Maybe the heat has dulled my brain. It is so hot that I realized that the water in the concrete birdbath was HOT. No birds would drink it so I put cool water in and put an ice pack into the water to keep it that way.
Made a short trip to the thrift store to take boxes of stuff then had a quick look at the books. I'm so glad I did. I am enthralled by this book of pencil sketches and water colour pictures of wild flowers. I'll show just a couple of the lovely pages here.
In the bargain section I picked up this one. I tried to read a Mitford book some years ago and just couldn't get into it. So many of you love them so I'll give it another chance
Have a great weekend and keep cool!

I have read every book in the series and I absolutely love them! I think if you will read through the first couple of chapters you will fall in love with Father Tim and all the other characters, I hope so anyway. Always enjoy reading your posts. Paulette
ReplyDeleteThat Garden book is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books, I am certainly enjoying mine at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have that Mitford book-picked it up at the annual library sale. Good read for the long days of winter.
ReplyDeleteIts always fun to look in the thrift shops for a bargain, I picked some great bargains myself at the car boot sale this morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling and nodding at that quote. Last night my husband and I were discussing what to do this weekend and he said if we stayed home and read all weekend it would be fine with him. It is HOT here too and reading in the A/C seems to be an enjoyable way to pass the time. Although occasional ice tea and ice cream breaks are nice too :).
ReplyDeleteI have read all of the Mitford books and love them.
Your new book with the flowers looks delightful.
I, too, love the MItford series. Yay for you for giving them a second try.
ReplyDeleteThat first book is such a treasure to find at a thrift shop! I found a bunch of books at my local thrift shop a while back. I'd never thought to look through the books! I also brought home one of the Mitford books. There are so many, I'm not sure if I've read it before or not. I'll find out when I get around to looking at it. The freezer pack in the bird bath is a good idea!
ReplyDeleteWill have to check out the Mitford books. The one you got with the flowers is just lovely! I was at Mcc for their half price sale yesterday, as well as the store just down the road by the freeway. Got some good buys, and it was sort of my day off this week and what I do for entertainment ;-)
ReplyDelete.
What a beautiful book you found. I am going to add it to the list of books I keep in my purse. I have been lucky over the years to be able to find most of the books on it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get into the Father Tim books. They are enjoyable.
That is a very beautiful book ♥
