Taking some liberties with the syllable pattern today.
Today's compliment:
"I'm not embarrassed by
anything you wear, Mom."
High praise from my almost-16-year-old.

Soft pick - 3/5
This book contains mostly paintings of women holding things. Some of the text is purely descriptive, used to describe the paintings. But some poetry can also be found, always in relation to the paintings and to the concept of “holding things.“
Like all art and poetry books, some pieces are more appealing than others, or are resonating more than others with me. Hence the soft pick.
Not book related, but I was excited to post an update about the nesting mourning dove I mentioned last Friday in my #5JoysFriday: Mama dove has a baby!
We greet her quietly whenever we use the gate, and she seems comfortable enough with us, so hopefully, she will remain safe and happy there until baby can grow up strong and healthy!
(And doesn't she have gorgeous eyeliner?)
I wanted to share this group text that I‘m in with my mom, my brother and my sister in law because I thought it was funny. It was about this picture that I took with my brother and sister in law but none of us remember where the picture was taken. Lol.
3✨ I‘m honestly not sure when I got this book, but I‘ve had it for a long while. I‘m glad I finally picked it up, and found out it was about a girls life. In the short story we grow up with our MC through the good the bad, and the love of small town life. I really liked her, and her family. What I didn‘t like was the writing bounced around within the characters head spontaneously. While it followed a natural timeline it moved around in chapters.
This book will stay with me for a while. Knowing the authors background and that she died the year this was published made this a thoughtful read for me. A story about relationships, living and dying and more. I loved it. I‘ve read a couple of her books now and loved them all. A talent lost too soon.
