What Are You Reading?

How do you get your daily news from around the country?  Do you stay current on World Events?  

I usually start my day reading on my tablet.  I scan the headlines and pick and choose which articles to read.  I find more information than watching the nightly news.  Besides, Jim and I don't like the same networks for news!

I also read blogs with my morning coffee.  I keep up with our friends and those crafty blogs I like to read.  I have a few 'odd' blogs too, like sustainability, farming, off the grid type blogs...and tiny homes too.

Do you follow blogs that involve a lifestyle other than your own?

I read magazines too. If you check the Library tab at the top of the page you can see what books and magazines I've recently read.  As I finish a book or magazine I record it.  I'm still reading the Outlander books, An Echo in the Bones which is number seven in the series of eight books.  This one covers their lives in America at the start of the American Revolution.

I'm always reading cookbooks just because I love them.  Most of them are digital as we couldn't possibly carry the weight of them!  I do have a few handheld cookbooks that get frequent perusal.

Did you know that if you click on an ad I make money?  Apparently no much because in all the years I've been blogging I've not been paid one cent!  You have to reach a certain threshold for them to send you a check....alas I'm still accumulating funds.

Yesterday we headed out to get out of the house.  First stop was the mall and I got a haircut.  While I was in the chair Jim walked the mall getting in some exercise.

Afterwords we went to Harvest Table in Stuart for lunch.  I had gazpacho and fried green tomatoes while Jim opted for a French dip sandwich.  We both had a draft beer.

Next stop was Barnes and Nobles, another great place to while away time by reading.  Jim likes to read magazines and I usually do to but this time I picked up Not my Father's Son by Alan Cumming.  I didn't buy it but I would like to finish reading it.  Apparently his father was abusive but Alan has overcome it!

Then we headed to Home Depot because I wanted to see if they had I mushroom kit.  Someone had posted on Facebook and I thought it would be fun to grow my own. We both like mushrooms.  They didn't, but I found it on Amazon (you can find everything there!).  Seems simple enough, check it out here.  If you try it, let me know!

Well it's sheet day and I hear the dryer calling me

All is right in our world

Front Comes Through

And everyone knows when a front comes through with rain, cooler air is behind it.  Not sure we got as chilly as predicted for last night but it was 60 degrees when I got up before sunrise this morning.  I like it!

We had a lazy, do nothing Sunday.  With the clouds and bands of rain expected we didn't want to be outside.  We spent most of the day reading and in my case being bored.  Oh well, into each life some rain must fall.  We needed it but I wish we had gone somewhere else to get out of it.

This morning we have sunshine and that makes for a good start.

Limpkin, we've only seen one

I think these are Apple Snail shells, I saw quite a few of them along the shore and they are a favored food of the Limpkin

We both like wandering around this pond, it's about a mile walk and some is on the path and some is on a sidewalk.  All of it can be walked on grass but not all of it is level ground.  Your ankles get a workout!

Our family lost a member over the weekend and I'd like you to keep Chris in your thoughts and prayers.  His mother died and it is a difficult time for him and his children today as they say their goodbyes.

All is right in our world.
