Whatever
Very windy with hazy sunlight here today. Leaves blowing everywhere. Apparently it is finally the right weather for our two pepper plants, both of which have lots of lovely peppers on them. Need to think about getting suet packs out of the freezer for the birds, and to see if the two finch-seed socks I used last year are salvageable.
Currently reading Lulah Ellender's Elisabeth's Lists: A Family Story and really enjoying it. That link goes to Amazon UK because our US Amazon doesn't have any reviews of it (but it is available there). It's a nonfiction story by a woman who inherited her grandmother's journal, and her subsequent research into her grandmother's life. What makes it even more interesting is that her grandmother was the daughter of a British diplomat, married a British Foreign Service/diplomatic officer, and was posted to Madrid (among other places) during WWII. This is such a great story of a lost world, and Ellender tells it well.
It has clouded over now and is quite grey. Feeling at odds and ends today, la.
