“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” – Neil Armstrong. I had fun reading all your guesses for Sunday’s mystery photo. Seems food ruled the day and actually food was a sort of right guess. But the photo wasn’t pancakes or waffles with blueberries and strawberries, but after reading your guesses, I was ready …
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” ― Arthur Conan Doyle I’m throwing down a challenge again to all of you who like to play my mystery photo game. I’ve been taking pictures and trying to think mysteriously about this or that common thing and I am finally ready to see if I …
Where did Wednesday go? I think all these dogs I’m dog sitting along with the two that are mine have my thoughts scattered. Then a storm came and knocked down trees in my son’s neighborhood to mess up their fenced backyard. No longer dog friendly. Instead dog escape time. I can blame the dogs and the storm, but my lapse …
Seasons of the year can give you some variety in weather. I like living in a place where each season has its time. Here in Kentucky, sometimes a bit of one season can sneak into a different season. Actually, it’s a pretty good chance that will happen, especially in the spring and fall. We can think we’ve left winter behind …
“You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.” —Walter Hagen Have you ever noticed how sometimes things seem to happen all at once? That’s how it’s been during release week for Along a Storied Trail. I’m getting to show up along with my book all around the internet. …
I’ve been sharing a lot of my research and about my characters as I count down to the book birthday of Along a Storied Trail coming out on Tuesday, June 1. Some of you have already gotten your hands on a copy and I thank you for reading my packhorse librarian book. But the story didn’t only talk about the Packhorse Library …
“Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.” ―Anne Herbert I owe a big debt to my local library for all the books I was able to carry home and read when I was a kid. I owe even more for all the help I found at the …
Thanks for dropping by my blog today. For fun, with Along a Storied Trail about to be released in eight short days, I decided to turn the floor over to Tansy Calhoun, my book woman, to let her tell you a little about herself and what she likes about being a packhorse librarian. So meet Tansy. Thank you for letting me drop …
I was hunting in my old posts for something about libraries. I do love libraries and give my local library much credit for nourishing my love of words. I’ve also had some fun talking about new books at my local library. Each year starting with Scent of Lilacs back in 2005 I’ve had a Hometown Book Launch when one of my …
“Book woman, give me a book.” That was what the packhorse librarians often heard when they rode up to a schoolhouse on their horse or mule with their saddlebags or sometimes gunnysacks full of library books. Many of the mountain children had little access to books and it was exciting to get something new and different to read. The packhorse …
