However even the absent ones had read a book this month and sent it along so we have thirteen titles for you to peruse. Many in our group this month were either traveling or mowing or gardening or had various other obligations. I think the plan is to mow down the weeds and grass and just read whenever we can. Really, life is too short to spend it on yard work. Right now both of us are looking for our comfy chair, our iced tea and a good book. So when I want to sit and read the yard calls out and says, “Use your last bit of energy on me!” This weekend my husband finally got a small plot tilled and put in his few tomato and pepper plants. However the grass keeps growing and many of our side gardens have gone wild. Instead I planted flowers and herbs in a lot of pots. But it has been so wet that when there is finally a good day the ground is pretty squishy. June is when we in Wisconsin finally can get our flowers and veggies in the ground and not have to worry about frost damage. So it is taking me forever to finish a book.

I want to read away the hours but either I just find myself too tired or my eyes just won’t cooperate because of dryness.
