I am still waiting for spring to arrive! We get cloudy skies but no rain. The weatherman is promising 80 degrees by Monday. I am ready!
I received some books this week and have them in the library. I got another book by Heather Gudenkauf, an Iowa author. This is entitled “Before She Was Found”. The other one I read of hers cost me a sleepless night! I also got some more of Sue Grafton books. They weren’t very expensive and I have been binge reading her books. I always seem to like the books after the author has died and there won’t be anymore. That is why I’m trying to catch up. Her books read fast and she wrote with such expression! She painted a picture of what she is seeing and I can see it clearly. Kinsy Millhone is a rather funny Private Eye.
This week I ordered another Heather Gudenkauf book, “The Weight of Silence”. I ordered the next David Baldacci book, “A Gambling Man”. Jo Bardole gave us some of Elizabeth Bromke books a few months ago, so I ordered another of hers. It is “Cottage by the Creek”. Her books are easy reads and “wholesome”. “The Women of the Bible Speak” by Shannon Bream is in this order also. I remember when some of the young ladies of our Church group read a book about ladies of the Bible. We don’t often hear about them in scripture, but they are there.
The front lawn at the library is looking good. I know Gary Weaver trimmed some bushes, etc. around the community Room so it would look good for Janice Johnston’s students recital last Sunday. The lawn has been mowed nicely and the weed eater was used around our book drop. Maybe we are all getting ready for our 150th plus celebration! I think the Greene County Democrats are donating a tree to replace the one lost in the Deracho last summer. We really appreciate that.
I’m not sure if we will have a summer Reading program. We are up in the air about it because of Covidand having a leader. We are always open to volunteers if that is something you want to consider.
Keep Reading! It expands our minds!
