audio books

I just finished listening to Murder Gets A Life by Anne George. It is a murder mystery involving two sisters in their 60's who get involved in solving the mystery. It is set in Birmingham, Al. and is read in a very southern voice. It is entertaining to knit to.

The Zookeeper's Wife

I was rather disappointed in this book by Diane Ackerman. It is just so impersonal. While it does tell what happened to Warsaw and the zoo it does not give any information about Antonina that would make a person identify with her. In the end it says only that she wrote children's books and raised her children, but not how or when she died.

sock bag

This was in with my mother's things. It looks to be from the 1930's or 1940's. It is hand appliqued and embroidered and in very good condition. Wish I knew who made it. It could have been mine when I was little but I do not remember it.

Spring

The crabapple tree in the back yard. This tree was knocked down when we cut out pines. We struggled through the years to save it and it was well worth it. I do miss gardening and would love to plan flowers this spring but my back no longer allows me to do that.
