Fall

After last week's mini heat wave it is starting to feel like fall. The leaves are turning and the foliage has been beautiful. More than I expected considering the lack of water all summer long

This picture really doesn't do justice to the colors of this tree on the Tower Trail at Sleeping Giant State Park (in Hamden CT). My husband and I have been trying to walk the trail as often as possible. I started The Gentleman in Moscow. Impulsively took it out of the library for a week. Slow to start and as I couldn't renew it, because of a hold on it, I had to return it. Only got to page 175. Not sure if I will try to finish it. I then read Amy Schumer's book Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo. Funny, crass, sad, disturbing and many instances timely (i.e. her telling of how she lost her virginity, her abusive ex husband in the current political presidential race). I am not one to watch stand up comedians but she does hit on current events. Now reading a light mystery set in England at the beginning of WWII- a member of the royal family (Georgie, 34th in line to the throne) becomes involved in a murder. Fun.

. I believe I will search out the next in the series. Of course I should probably choose a book from the pile next to my bed or one of the many in the bookcase in my bedroom!My book group meets Monday night to discuss Hillbilly Elegy. Should be a good discussion.
