Welcome to Litsy!

Sometimes you just need a donkey to remind you to kick up your heels & embrace life. 🫏

Short & sweet without being saccharine.

Best line, “His head was full of a musical buzz, and although his Muse had chosen to inhabit an odd and inappropriate person, Andy Lightfoot was happy because he was writing poems and that was what he was meant to do.”

😊 Back to outdoor reading, at last!

And finally getting to this novella.

We shall go on by the light of our hearts.

Happiness is growth in peace

Wrapping things up with May Sarton this weekend. I enjoy her flowery descriptions on everything from gardening to aging to weekending.

A page from my reading journal.

I'm on a short road trip to visit my mother who is (temporarily) in a nursing home and so my reading journey with The House by the Sea begins...

I bought a used copy of May Sarton's The House by the Sea for this week's reading.

This was my first exposure to May Sarton‘s work and it was delightful. Sarton writes of her parents‘ backgrounds before delving into memories of her childhood and school days and wraps up with her early career in the theater. Her writing is so lovely and I will definitely seek out more of her works.
