Picked Grandma up on Sunday and brought her out for tea after a stop at Golden Grain Farm to show her the inside of the house. She won't remember but so what; it may still be familiar to her next time. I hope to have a nice little room there and an extra bed so she can stay longer.

Why is the photo all ghosty? Can't remember if the flash came on.

Discovered the Book Addiction in my early morning reading. Luanne, you asked me to post more about what I'm reading (do blogs count?). This lady writes a lively description of the books she's reading, as opposed to an ad or a review. Her descriptions and critiques are a little story in themselves.

Had a peek around the internet last night in a spare moment (waiting for something to boil, probably) to find out more about Thornton W. Burgess, whose invisible footprints lay, in my imagination, on the walking trails I have yet to discover at the new place.

See his bio and photo

Or read Old Mother West Wind to a child.

You can also read The Adventures of Old Mr Toad online.

A museum and an active society are named after the man.
