Nature�s Palette: A Color Reference System from the Natural World | Patrick Baty

In Vermont we are still buzzing from this event. The total eclipse was so beyond anything I could have imagined. The cold, the darkness, the stars, the return of light. Strangers embracing strangers. Grandchildren running wild in the darkness and screaming that it was the best day of their lives. It happened in my backyard and it was sunny (unheard of!) I see why people chase this experience. It has affected me deeply. 💕💕

Bookwormjillk That‘s great! We were only at about 85% here but I loved that for about a half hour everyone just stopped and observed nature. 2w

Suet624 @Bookwormjillk so true. 2w

Aims42 I saw it from my backyard by myself and I think being with a crowd would make it infinitely more exciting 😁 It was cool, but being with others would‘ve made it even better 2w

squirrelbrain Sounds like a wonderful experience! 2w

kspenmoll It must have been gorgeous in the snow. I stayed home with the cats while F& R went to my brother‘s in VT- they traveled to Shelburne Museum where they had spots for the day. They returned, astonished, dazzled,Awestruck,with this universal & community experience. 2w

LeahBergen So cool! 2w

Cathythoughts Brilliant ♥️ 2w

youneverarrived ♥️♥️ 2w

Leftcoastzen I was thinking you would be in a good spot for it!Yay! 2w

Suet624 @Aims42 It's funny because I couldn't tell if my experience would have been even better if I were by myself :) 2w

Suet624 @squirrelbrain It truly was. I'll never forget how it felt, that's for sure. 2w

quietjenn I very much relate, although I saw it in Ohio. Kinda want to become one of those eclipse chasers now. Just phenomenal in so many ways 2w

Reggie Very cool, Sue! 2w

Suet624 @quietjenn My family and I all agreed that we could see why so many people chase the totality of the eclipse. There's nothing like it. 2w

Suet624 @Reggie It's truly a once in a lifetime event. I hope you can experience it sometime. 2w

Nature�s Palette: A Color Reference System from the Natural World | Patrick Baty

My cards are going out a little late, but should arrive before the end of the month. Seems apropos considering the sudden return to chilly temps and the occasional snow squall! I hope everyone loves the poems I selected as much as I do!! To me, spring conjures images of all the creatures peeking from their burrows and dens and snug hidey-holes! Happy Spring!! 🌸🌈🌦️🌿🐿️🐇🦡🦔

sarahbarnes Strangers sounds very intriguing! 2mo

BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts It wasn‘t as good as the book 😉 2mo

Thanks to my good friend @Librariana for sharing her Pantone colour boards! I have one book I haven‘t placed yet because I can‘t decide which colour best fits. So far this year I‘ve enjoyed everything I‘ve read and this challenge is making it so much more fun! Can‘t wait to continue to add to this.

Librariana Aww! Such a good job on your collage 😊 (I'm glad the app is working for ya) And look at how many covers you already have on! The #Pantone2024 Reading Challenge is gonna be so fun now that you're joining us. Yay! 2mo

Hi.

Lately, I've been trying to concentrate on my reading. A novel idea, I know.

In the past, I've chatted with my adopted sis @CBee about not feeling like a part of the Litsy community... but I realize it's my own doing, choosing to be digitally absent because I don't feel "good enough," whether it be in the quality of a review or the amount of participation I engage in.

(Cont'd ⬇️)

Librariana
(1/2) I have to remind myself that these comparisons are self-created... that these feelings are my own, and not something anyone else has imposed.

So I'm gonna try to get back to the joy and not make this unnecessarily difficult on myself... at least while the app continues to work on my Samsung phone 😉 2mo

Librariana (2/2) For now, I did remember how much I enjoyed the Pantone reading challenge, and since I didn't see a post about it (again, my own fault for not being around), I decided to make my own cards and focus on the New York Fashion Week colors only.

If anyone would like the digital images, I'd be more than happy to share them ☺️ 2mo

Librarybelle I love reading your posts! What did you think of Legends & Lattes? I really liked it, though it‘s not my usual genre. 2mo

Julsmarshall Love all these colors! And I loved Shark Heart-so strange and wonderful! 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures ❤️❤️❤️❤️ social media is hard!! I love seeing you here though! 2mo

CBee @Librariana SIS!!! You have no idea how lovely it is to see a post from you ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo

BarbaraBB Very glad you‘re thinking this way! I‘ve been doing the #Pantone2024 challenge as well because I enjoyed it so much! 2mo

Librariana @Librarybelle Thank you for your kind words ? I appreciate and love reading your posts as well, although timing isn't always on my side... which means I miss out on a lot of people's posts and need to do a better job of not just relying on home page updates. As for Legends & Lattes, I'll confess it's also not my go-to genre, but I found the "slice of life" aspect put under a high fantasy lens to be very sweet and imaginative! What did you think? 2mo

Librariana @Julsmarshall Shark Heart was definitely NOT what I was expecting, but it was certainly more lyrical and lovely in its writing style than I anticipated. There were so many deep thought morsels... things to reflect on later... and I flagged/hughlighted/annotated SO many of them. I did a buddy read of it with a coworker and we plan to chat more about it over coffee this week. I'm looking forward to hearing her perspective on it! 2mo

Librariana @ChaoticMissAdventures Social media IS hard! It is a tricky 'machine' to maneuver. Funny enough, I'm listening to an audiobook called "Generations" by Jean M. Twenge, PhD and the Gen Z chapter talks a great deal about social media ramping up social comparison... how everyone feels like they have to be perfect. It's very fascinating stuff! Makes me very grateful to be a Gen X-er and wise enough to regulate my feelings about my digital presence. 2mo

Librariana @ChaoticMissAdventures I am ALSO very glad that you're here and that I get to see your posts and interact with you via this platform ☺️ 2mo

Librariana @CBee Please think of this reply as though it were a "Care Bear Stare" and I am beaming sunshine and rainbows in your direction! ??? 2mo

Librariana @BarbaraBB 😄😁😊 I know in the past, Clwojick would share her images of the colors and would include London... but when I saw the colors, I wasn't too keen on some 🫤, so I decided to go rogue and just do the 2024 New York Fashion Week shades for both Spring/Summer AND Autumn/Winter ☺️ I'll see how close I can get the covers to match! 2mo

Centique I know what you mean about timing! Because im in NZ most of the Littens i usually talk to are posting when im asleep! I have to make a list of names and go check on what people have posted. Not super convenient! So i end up reading and commenting on a whole lot of old posts - but people are cool with that. I hope you feel more welcomed and included. Feel free to tap me on the shoulder if i havent seen your posts! 💕 2mo

Librarybelle @Librariana I surprisingly really liked it! I got sucked in right away to the story, and the pacing was great. I actually just checked out the second book from the library so I can continue the story! And, feel free to comment on any posts that are not immediately on the home feed - it doesn‘t matter if it‘s from last week or last year! I think we all in the Litsy community just love connecting and talking about books! ❤️ 2mo

kspenmoll Please do not worry about posts or reviews etc. this is a judgement free platform which is why I love it. Often I do not get on until weekends when I am not working- it‘s nice to get a “like” or comment from old posts. We care about each other, including you! Thank you for putting yourself out there & being so open & honest. Appreciate your words so much! Sending ❤️💙🩷💜🩷 2mo

CBee @Librariana Care Bear Stare right back at you, sis ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo
