The first image is from our walk on Saturday at the state park. The next two images were taken yesterday at a favorite conservation area; the last three, today, same location.

Simple pleasures

By Nerdishly ¶ Posted in books ¶ Leave a comment

A few new books.

No alarm; a beautiful hike at a state park; Chapter 4 of Absalom, Absalom; music practice; a bizarre chat with a customer service representative; two episodes of Only Murders in the Building; delicious luncheon; Bananagrams; and now? More of The Moonstone.
