Small Summer Pleasures

posted Saturday, 25 July 2009

I love Flurt frozen yogurt on a hot summer day. My favorite is a small with strawberries or raspberries. Yum!

Another summer pleasure is reading lots of good books I have missed along the way. My librarian recommended this one, A DROWNED MAIDEN'S HAIR by Laura Amy Schlitz. The copyright page says 2006, so it was published before her 2008 Newbery award winner, GOOD MASTERS! SWEET LADIES! I couldn't get into that one.  But A DROWNED MAIDEN'S HAIR is soooo good. I really love this novel about a young orphan who gets tangled up in a shady spiritualist scheme. Perfect book for summer reading!

I'm working this summer at a daycare center, so my summer fun is limited to bits and pieces. Flurt yogurt, reading books, reading blogs, doing yoga, going for walks when the weather permits, etc. I'm hoping to take a vacation in the fall. But one lesson I learned from Jasper - a summer catnap is a thing to be savored anywhere, even at home.
