Finally!! My second Great Gray Owl and it was spectacular! I learned the tips at the end of the tail feathers are indicative of a young owl. I found an adult for my first sighting the day before. :)

Current read that came off the Reading the West book awards list. I can already tell I'll be up into the early hours.

Wow, I didn't realize how little I really knew about TB. Very interesting book with all kinds of historical tidbits that demonstrate how everything really is tuberculosis.

Well, this wasn't in my stack of "to be read this week" books, but I had put a reserve in quite a while back when I first spotted the author's name - a name familiar to me because I have taken three writing courses at OSU with John Larison. He is an amazing instructor!

Totally engaging from the first chapter on until the surprising twists and turns of the ending but don't cheat and skip ahead to the end! You'll miss all the connections along the way. Every word is worth consideration. I was captivated by this book.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

My library books to see me through the weekend. One to enlighten, one because it's a sequel to a recommended novel that I enjoyed. And then one for pure escape.
❤️❤️my public library❤️❤️
I love independent bookstores too, but this was easier on my wallet today 😉
Both need our love and support.

Latest read. Very, very moving story. Banned in many schools. I wonder how many adults actually read it before jumping on the bandwagon.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
