Mockingbird Hill Cottage

If you’d hadn’t known better, you’d have thought it was a fall day yesterday. Very, very cool and windy. A strange one day occurrence. This morning is still quite cool but it’s going to reach the 70s, unlike the 60s of yesterday. I’m going to head on out later this morning and pull the enormous amount of weeds that have popped up everywhere. It’s supposed to be sunny all day long.

This morning I heard a car honking and knowing that usually means animals are crossing the road, I looked out. There was Mom with two  fawns. I thought there was just one, but there are two. One had taken off into the woods but a few minutes later, I saw all three of them walking in the back forty. They sure seem to like hanging out on our property. Stay safe, little ones.

What else? I filled three large bags with books, then redid that particular bookcase which is in the bedroom. All three bags were unloaded at the library. That’s a very satisfying feeling. For those of you who say you could never part with your books, know that if I had more space, I’d probably hang on to all of mine as well. But we have over a thousand books here. Here, in our little cottage, which also holds lots of furniture, 7 dollhouses, and 15 musical instruments. There is only so much space. When you’re faced with that, you know something has to go. I have a lot of books I would never part with. But I read a lot and there are many books that are okay, but once I’m done, I’m done. I can easily part with them.

And what is better than donating those books to my small local library? They’re a source of badly needed income for the library. I’ve also seen some of books end up on the shelves. Pass them on to another reader.

Time to make another cup of coffee before I start in on my weeding.

Happy Sunday.
