I had to use up one of my Audible credits or lose it, so in haste I've picked a book I read many years ago to enjoy again- The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams. Right now it's the story of Lawson Park's development.

Sunday, and we're back!

Back in the woods after our trip to Florida :)

While it was nice to be warm for a few days I don't think I could live down there- I need the change of seasons. It's got much more seasonal, windy and 40F today, and its supposed to get much colder over the next couple of days.

Having finished The Goldfinch before we left for Florida, I'm taking a break with some music while I decide what to "read" next...
