🌹In our home we got a morning newspaper and an evening newspaper. That meant me begging someone to read the comics to me x2/day!! Also loved any book about kittens or pups.

Happy 1st Wednesday of May❣️

1-I purchased the Eyes and the Impossible to add to my shelves. I read this once but I want to have it available in my home for sharing and rereading

2-I do when time allows, on Litsy mostly. I rate with stars only on GR. What about you?

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. In an overstuffed chair by the window, mostly

2. Just finished the tagged. It was helpful to hear reminders of living a joyful life. I needed to be reminded

I. The scent of lilacs echoes spring in Minnesota as a child. The scent of peonies is connected to Mom💗

II. Our neighbor Emma had a gorgeous flower garden surrounded by a white fence and beautiful gate-slice of heaven.
