april / 2024

April miscellany & books, starting with a library haul... Nanny Piggins & Rabbit Boy have been the latest hits for the kids. We've been enjoying R.A Spratt's podcast as well. She's a bit of a kooky Australian who reinvents Greek mythology.

read Rascal, by Sterling North with Asher ~ a memoir of a boy & his raccoon

"Rascal sunbathed on a lofty limb, flat on his fat little belly... there he dozed for hours, absorbing the healing sunshine of September as though he were storing up warmth for the long, cold season ahead. I was equally happy, & quite as lost to the world ~ we were tree-dwellers, my raccoon & I, & we rather wished we would never have to set foot on earth again."

Late Migrations by Margaret Renkle, a poetic nature/essay/memoir

"Twilight... is a glimpse into eternity, that bewildering notion of endless time, where light & dark exist simultaneously."

My April / May reads / to be read...

"Books matter. Books are a direct connection between someone else's brain and yours."
