Welcome to Litsy!

An adorable and funny historical romance with a touch of fantasy. The banter between the love interests is great and I read this slow just to savor it. 5⭐️

Bird watching at the river mouth. Took about a 30 minute hike through the dunes to get there. Definitely worth it for the beauty of the area. Now we‘re at our usual walking park/beach watching the swallows swoop and swirl, picking their lunch out of midair. :)

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

I‘m happy our daily haikus are continuing. They give me peace & joy. Today‘s is about the early-rising birds outside my bedroom window. I like hearing them while I slowly wake up.

Morning Sounds

Sunday, birds chatter
Early risers greet the light
I prefer to snooze

Yesterday I was watching a red-crested cardinal scavenging outside the coffee shop & it reminded me of one that hung out in another coffee shop & would fly in daily & grab a sugar-in-the-raw pack, fly back outside & open it up & share with friends. (Excuse the bad photo!) He‘s the inspiration for today‘s haiku.

Red-Crested Cardinals

Bold red mohawks fly
Scavenging with bright-eyed flair
Cheeky sugar thieves

According to the author, this was her first published whodunit,(1986) which she wrote while she & her husband were living on the tidal island of Hibre, in the Dee.She was pregnant with her first child, so she thought she might write. George Palmer-Jones,retired Home Office agent,& his wife Molly, an ex-social worker, heed the call to see rare bird. P-J a “twitcher”goes to the birding site. A murder occurs early on. I had no idea who to suspect.

Sunday morning coffee & a book. Immersing myself in the Norfolk coast,& the Scottish Scilly Isles & its birdwatching world, with a little murder & mystery thrown in the mix. #shelfsweeper #4Elizabeth #serieslove2024

I‘ve always believed that watching birds and listening to their sweet songs can calm the anxious mind. So it was a soothing adventure to join Amy in her elaborate backyard refuge and see who‘s showing up for her daily bistro. Amy‘s illustrations are stunning and her inquisitive observations are both intriguing and downright comical! I even learned to identify many of my own backyard visitors. 😍🙌🏻🐦‍⬛
