I’m not sure if it’s the springtime that’s finally rolled in, or if it’s because I’ve finally figured out how to manage my time, but I’m a happy busy bee.
The vegetables are coming up in the garden beds — I’m particularly excited about the radishes. The perennials (e.g., asters, coneflowers, hostas, canna lilies) are peeking out of the ground. The birds are chirping. We have outdoor seating for the shop, soon to be joined by large potted plants.
It must the lovely weather.
In conjunction (and with good timing), because of Book Club, I’ve also begun setting aside time for reading…something I’ve not done for months and dreadfully missed.
Our first book, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, was an interesting read. We had a quite a turn-out which was pleasing. Lots of voices to give new perspective on the issues Sinclair attempted to address.
For the month of May, we’ll read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. This book was recommended by my staff, Eileen, and heartily supported by several knitters. The New York Public Library lists this as one of the Books of the Century. Well…. I guess we should give it a go.
Join us on Tuesday, May 20th, 5:30-7:30pm, for discussion and knitting.
