February Redbud Sightings

Thursday, February 22, I saw my first Redbud tree blooming as I drove out to Flora.

I have posted before about how much I love these trees when they bloom.

Other things are blooming, too. This is a spirea shrub at mom's house.

And what would this time of year be without jonquils or daffodils?

Mom has so many and she loves to share.

I hope to have this many at my house one day.

I'm still reading Maisie detective books as I shared in my last post.

I bought the one that our library is missing. It was less than three dollars plus shipping.

I was surprised to learn it was a surplus library book from a military base. Just like new.

Wonder if my library would accept it to replace the one that's lost?

What blooming things are you seeing? 

What are you reading?

Reading Obsession

I am obsessed with the Maisie Dobbs series.

Mr. M bought this book to read and when he finished I read it.

Then I went to the public library and checked out the next in the series.

The book begins before World War I and continues into the 1920's.

The author has based it on some of her family stories and research into

the days after the war and how it affected people in England.

Maisie helps people get their lives sorted out. She doesn't close a case until

all the parties come to an agreement. It is very holistic in helping people heal mind and body.

The local library doesn't have one of the books - lost forever I guess. So, I had to buy it.

That is the obsession part. I am reading the books so quickly that I don't want to miss any.

I did buy it used, so that's okay.

What are you reading? Obsessing?
