Covid-19 Life: TBR, New Quilt Project, More Trillium

I decided to start a hand sewing project for summer--The Cherish Quilt by Jodi Godfrey at Tables of Cloth. It is an English Paper Piecing quilt with nice big centers for special prints. There were several cool looking EPP projects I have seen on Instagram, including this one.

Now to get prepared.

I have managed to clear my June 1 reading shelf! I have two summer books to read. But over summer I have 11 books to read for September and October! (So far...)

New on my NetGalley shelf:

• Legends of the North Cascade by Jonathan Evison for an Algonquin blog tour
• Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket, short stories by Hilma Wolitzer. I found the title story online at the Saturday Evening Post website and loved it! Wolitzer wrote stories for women's magazines in the later 20th c.

• When Ghosts Come Home by Wiley Cash, whose The Last Ballad and A Land More Kind Than Home I read and reviewed.

• Lean Fall Stand by Jon McGregor about an Antarctic expedition gone wrong

• The Return of the Pharaoh: From the Reminiscences of John H. Watson, MD by Nicholas Meyer whose last Watson book The Adventures of the Peculiar Protocal I reviewed (I have read his Watson novels since the Seven Percent Solution came out in the 1970s)

Coming in the mail from Catilin Hamilton Marketing is

• The Artist Colony by Joanna FitzPatrick

We returned to Tenhave Woods in Royal Oak, MI to see the trillium in full bloom.

The woods is carpeted with the flowers.

And other flowers as well.

And of course, I must end with a pic of the fur grandkids, Sunny and Ellie enjoying the sunshine in their back yard.

Stay safe. Find your bliss.
