Good to hear! And thank you dear!!! 💕💕💕

Thanks very much, Anne! Hope you are thriving! Wishing you a lovely weekend! xxx

Thank you very much, Serina! I hope all is well on your end. Hope your weekend is a good one for you.

Absolutely yes! Saturday it's supposed to be waaaaay above zero. Spring-like weather! Predicting rain, too, but that doesn't matter! I'm interested in a break from the deep chill we've been experiencing this winter.

Oh, my! That's terrific! I'm sure you did a great job! That's is something truly positive to embrace. Looking forward to your success!

My pleasure, Smarty! Hope you are doing well. I've been absent on here for a bit. Too much world instability going on so I am trying to get away from it as best I can. The news keeps escalating. Reading, writing, gardening and cooking helps. Staying focused.

Thank you, my dear! I wish you the very best always. Hope your Friday is gentle to you!

I feel exactly the same way as you! I walk a lot too and read when time permits. I ordered a bunch of books and am looking forward to losing myself in my little reading nook. Wishing the world were a better place...

My pleasure, Layla! I hope life is treating you well. The world is quite... loud and uncertain at this time. I hope you are finding things in your days that nurture your serenity. Sending you positive vibes! xxx

A stack of historic leather bound books with marbled edges.

Worcestershire Archives Marbled Ledgers.

Cool fact alert!

Marbled end papers on ledgers weren't only beautiful--they also prevented fraud.

Nefarious bookkeepers couldn't remove pages without messing up the pattern, alerting employers to their misdeed.

You never know what you’re going to get with rescues. This one was obviously loved. She’s crate trained and knows “no” and “sit” but she’s been on the streets awhile. It’ll be fun putting weight on her bones & getting her healthy!

Drawing of an old tree in black ink with a background in coloured pencils

I noticed they cut down a few huge trees in my area and was suddenly struck by anxiety that this one would follow #art

The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth. In the middle is Stuart, dressed in a red shirt and yellow shorts. He's steering a canoe down a stream. There are various green plants in circled around the canoe, but Stuart and the canoe are center stage.

It's blurry, but cute. Mina and little Clover enjoying the warm weather, fresh air, and birdcalls.

My profile on Pagebound. Norb3 is the username, along with my bio and 5 different book covers of My Taste.

Anyone in the #WritingCommunity also on Pagebound? It's like a souped-up version of Goodreads, with extra features. Seems alright so far. #Authors #poems #poetry
