Perfect read for a lazy labor day weekend.
My backyard is not quite as beautiful as the cape, like MA natives call Cape Cod, but it feels wonderful to lounge in my hammock and hear the buzzing of happy critters

Here is my book hoard from beacon hill books and cafe. Great book selection and one of the prettiest bookstore I've ever been to. It has a great local Boston history collection and an amazing children section.

I read the Outermost House many years ago and I really ought to re read it. Considered a classic of American nature writing, Beston's writing is decidedly poetic and hypnotic. "Outermost House captures humanity's relationship to nature in a way only our finest books can."
