these are the latest books i've been reading. call the nurse by mary j. macleod follows her life in the north of scotland, working as a nurse for a small island community. it was a christmas gift given to me a year or so ago by kathy and warren and i'm surprised it took me so long to dive in. i loved it and found her stories to be profound and also very amusing. humanity can be so silly and so deep at the same time. the community that surrounded her was warm and supportive with many funny quirks and a long history.
i came across the traveling cat chronicles at jefferson market one day when i returned a library book. i didn't want to put it down once i began reading it. the cat narrates his life shared with a man who one day decides to take him to visit several childhood and college friends. each visit shows us a little more of the man's life and how he and the cat understand and care for each other. it was a beautiful and touching read.
i finally began the applied i-cord border on the baby blanket i'm knitting for milly the dog's owners. their baby was born in may and i hope to have it ready to give them in a few weeks.
i couldn't resist getting fresh corn from the green market this morning and we had it with sausage and carrots. it was wonderfully juicy and sweet.
