Cup of Tea

It is nice to see the sun these last few days.  Having warm weather is a wonderful step toward spring.  The woodpecker is working on a tree nearby as I hear him almost every morning.  

Yoshi is still struggling with his relationships with lady bugs.  He has a wonderful spot to sleep right near the window.  He can look out or not as he wants and sleep in a comfy, cosy place.  The problem is it is lady bug season and they also love the same spot.  They land on and walk on Yoshi.  His fur twitches and then he has to get them off him!  He knows not to eat them, but he can’t stand them on him.  My favorite is when there are three of four and they dive bomb him.  Watching him, watch them is funny.

I read three laid back books this week.  Good story lines with a story that is logical.  Great characters, some of whom were a little unique.  There are interesting main characters that you want to cheer for. What made the reading fun was the difference in the books:  three different genres; three different settings; and three different types of characters.  I loved it.  The stories did not have to be raced through to find the solution, killer, or ending.  I could enjoy them.  I don’t always want my books to be like a cup of tea.  I want there to be twists and turns, bad guys, drama and angst, but not when I have a bad cold, so for me this was perfect.  Now I am going into some edgier novels, but I will be ready. 

Elise sent in an interview with Dana Mentink.  Her newest book Raging Waters is a thriller about a pilot in enemy territory. This certainly sounds like something that could be ripped out of the headlines.  The Guest Review is with Patrice McDonough’s book Murder by Moonlight.  This book is a mix of a mystery in the past during the time women were first working on joining the medical profession.  

Take the time to read.  OH and go Sox! 

I feel the need to point out that the Yankees have lost 5 games in a row…  So sorry – NOT
