Welcome to Litsy!

1. Freesia has always been my favorite, so fragrant!
2. I‘m grateful that my family and friends all have their health. Grateful that I appear to still have all my marbles (maybe hubby wouldn‘t agree!). Grateful that my parents brought me up with unwavering love and instilled a lot of confidence and the feeling I could accomplish anything.

Thanks @Deblovestoread 🩷

#WondrousWednesday

This book has a strange story of a woman marrying a snake, and when he arrives he is escorted by paranymphs. This word makes sense for someone accompanying a bride or groom, but it‘s an unfamiliar one.

I downloaded this a few nights ago when I needed a new ebook to read a few pages before bed. Set in Albania during a time of transition after communism, it was strangely compelling with its mix of storytelling. There‘s a contemporary story of Mark and his girlfriend in the changing city combined with his remembrances of stories and strange dreams. I found it interesting, but in the end I didn‘t quite understand it.

💐 Spring is coming.

The tagged book is on my reading list for this year, and the picture is just to brighten up an otherwise wet and blustery day here in the UK.

Spring! I‘m not normally one for planting because I have a black thumb but last spring I carelessly threw a hyacinth bulb out and look what came up! Of course, we‘ll be back to 30s and snow by Monday but this does my heart good.

Spring is finally arriving in the PNW and my garden is going wild.
I‘ve never read this one by Kadare. Anyone?

Happy first day of spring! Don‘t let the cherry blossoms and sunshine fool you, it‘s still cold here.

Look what finally peaked out in front of my mailbox!

The crocuses finally emerged! Yay!
... Might as well share them, because by morning they‘ll be buried in snow and gone! Boo!

Better luck next year crocuses!
