Thanks @LoriLori.

On a side note-@LilysMom I think I saw some pictures of your gardens that you posted last year and I thought they were just beautiful. Would love to see some more this year.

@sunalajust received We Were the Lucky Ones also-don't know when I will get to read it but looking forward to it.

I'm reading Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson.  I wanted to take part in the Read-a-thon today but I keep getting distracted.

@sunala  I just picked up We Were the Lucky Ones. Wow. It's long and the print is teeny. This will take a while.

@Judaline -  I have it on my Kindle so the size of the font won't bother me. However, if it's a very long book, I may have a problem with that, as I don't seem to have the patience anymore for long books. It seems like I am always checking how much more I have left to read. Here's hoping for the best for us both!

 

I hope you enjoy it!

Just finished Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg. Getting ready to start The Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown.

 

Smilla took me a while to get into and was a bit complicated, but it was a good mystery. The ending was ambiguous though, which is always unsettling to me.

@Judaline That is what I initially thought also, but for me it went very fast as it was such a wonderful story of family!

@abbalulu, stop by the gardening forum.  I regularly post garden photos along with my gardening friends.  The month of April has been cold and windy.  The gardens are waking up now.  I have a visiting rabbit that is eating my Allium leaves.  I fenced off quite a bit and it seems to have stopped the incursions.  

 

I planted quite a few Canada 150 tulip bulbs for Canada's 150th birthday this July.  So far they have survived,  The rabbit hides under the juniper shrubs and comes out for a munch lol.  I send my Lab out to do a property check each morning.  The rabbit just laughs!!!  LM
