Weekly Roll

my neighbor's sunflowers peeking over the fence

Chaos Gardening - interesting concept and I feel like I kinda do that. However, I didn't intend it to be chaotic. I am pretty sure my neighbor has perfected this. The sunflowers are hers.

Inappropriate Thoughts

fuzzy wuzzy dahlia

I asked my husband if he would be my dahlia daddy.  I am on a short trip, and I need someone to keep them alive. Pray for him!

I reviewed the book "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone" back in 2019.  I thought it was a great read.

Inappropriate Thoughts

I am SO EXCITED that Dame Lillard is going to be back in Portland.  I can't believe how happy this makes me in a very irrational way.  I don't have to follow the Bucks  I don't have to be part of the herd. I can just watch Blazer Games.  Damien Lillard's Rare Form of Loyalty

 Deep Thoughts

The Vanished podcast about Jonathan Huang really hit close to home. I have an autistic adult who loves his routines.  I used to live in Washington State, and I know this area - Arlington, WA.  Missing since March and may have been spotted on a ring doorbell recently - People Part 2 of the podcast should be out on Monday.

What I Read July

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone is reading this summer.

I chose something different for my summer read.  Do you ever try to change up your summer reading?

The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters

This book got a lot of buzz last summer. I really enjoyed the book. It is about a Native American girl from Nova Scotia who is 4 years old that goes missing from picking blue berries in Maine.  It also about Norma from an affluent family Maine. Norma feels different in her family and thinks her parents are holding a secret about her.  The book has all elements - family secret, love, trauma.

Postcrossing Anniversary

Today Postcrossing is celebrating 20 years.  I just started postcrossing so I thought I would share the postcards I have received so far. I have received postcards from Japan, India, and Czechoslovakia. The majority however from the US.
