It’s taking me too long to read this series. I can read a book within a couple of days but this series so far seems to drag on. It took me about 3 week to read the 1st book and now 3 week to read the 2nd so far. I really love the story and characters so I am determined to finish this series one way or another but it is hard. I feel like I can’t manage to read more than one or two chapter a day and it feels like it takes forever and I have to get up and do something for a while and then come back to it. I find myself putting it off.Jennie Shutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715792680565620968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-78902483900354766252010-03-21T01:08:53.778-04:002010-03-21T01:08:53.778-04:00I've been raking and burning leaves this week....I've been raking and burning leaves this week.

I was out this morning, too-cleaning up my raised beds. They came through our recent floods quite well, though I must move the lavender to the side that drains faster. I look forward to the daffodils and then the daylilies! Only my sons purple crocus hae bloomed so far. they always make me happy. Hope you don't get anymore snow. It's time for new life! Take care.

I couldn't put them down, from the first until his last one. Glad you were able to get out and do some yard work. Can't wait to get into our garden (won't be awhile yet). hugsScrappy quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643346408388508283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-39593168411745973542010-03-20T12:41:22.682-04:002010-03-20T12:41:22.682-04:00I do agree with you that I love the Mitford saga, ...I do agree with you that I love the Mitford saga, and also bought the first Miss Read book because Karon admired her. It is so comforting to enter Jan Karon's little village world that when I travel I take one of them with me, especially for reading in airports and on the plane.<br />Thanks for pointing her out to people here.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-86782856914817480792010-03-20T12:17:50.739-04:002010-03-20T12:17:50.739-04:00Now what you've done is what I need to be doin...Now what you've done is what I need to be doing a precious little at a time...five minutes could prove to be too long. :D<br /><br />Prayers for Christopher's trip home.

I'm trying to take advantage of the few beautiful days we have to get out and weed. Although the ground is so soft from all the rain we've gotten that the weeds come out pretty easily!<br /><br />I tried reading the Mitford books because everyone always raves about them but never liked them! Which is odd because when people talk about them, they're exactly the kind of book I like?<br /><br />ManuelaManuela@A Cultivated Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282273791971364124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-43708314388464399122010-03-20T10:24:38.630-04:002010-03-20T10:24:38.630-04:00Working out of doors is indeed such a great therap...Working out of doors is indeed such a great therapy for the body and soul. I think we were meant to get our hands into the soil. Listening to the birds and feeling the breeze.
