You mentioned a shorter one for October, but longer is so nice! During this frightening pandemic, it feels like friends getting together. I sure need girlfriends! I’ve been slow lately with my art journaling and painting, but I’m inspired after reading about you~~ Pattypattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664387267001972389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-52689353217240736672020-10-10T17:15:51.530-07:002020-10-10T17:15:51.530-07:00Some lovely photographs of the deer!

I really recommend Burning The Books, A History Of Knowledge Under Attack' by Richard Ovenden. Its a thought provoking read. Richard Ovenden is the director of the Bodleian Library in Oxford and the book is about the ways people across history have tried to destroy written records and the people who tried to stop them. It sounds as if its a book of conspiracy theories, but it absolutely isn't. He writes from a librarian's perspective and its really interesting.Michele with one ellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120638217650067295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-72602640272374075202020-10-09T12:48:48.614-07:002020-10-09T12:48:48.614-07:00Thank you for the comment sweetheart.

Love that you had some more time with the grands, they're so precious.
