Two gifts and one recommendation.
I’m halfway through My Murder and about 150 pages into Empire of Pain; music practice is going well; and I’m (slowly) developing a routine for studying Latin.
The drought continues, so I’m using weepers on the days permitted for our location to ensure the trees and bushes make it through another summer. The containers and raised beds are doing all right, but the finches have begun to shred the sedum despite my vigilant refilling of the bird bath.

Justa note to say (without flattery) that your blog inspires me. Specifically, I am beginning a journey through Dante’s DIVINE COMEDY for the first time. However, I won’t just be sitting down to read it through. I will be reading with others and watching videos on the work through the 100 Days of Dante Project. And I am going to watch the Great Courses lecture series as well. I can honestly say that your learning journey and writing have inspired that. Thank you.

The 100 Days project is how I, too, read Dante. Those lectures were amazing. May you enjoy the journey as much as I did.
