Loving the summer. Spending time in Rhode Island overlooking the salt pond, sailing our Beetle Cat boat and relaxing with some books. Have read several YA books- Fracture, Island of the Aunts, The Secret of Platform 13- enjoyable, easy reads. Fracture was a bit disturbing- young girl falls through the ice, is dead for 11 minutes but miraculously comes back to life. Disturbing but interesting. Just started This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. Also read Matched- set in the future. Very interesting but similar to Hunger Games (dystopian society). Hoping to get to Wolf Hall which I originally didn't want to read but since Hillary Mantel's second book came out I am now intrigued.

This is a picture of the view from my porch. Very peaceful and calm.
