A terrific quote, dontcha think?
During this lockdown, I've found it difficult to read; my mind wanders easily, and there are so many distractions from the news.
I discovered that rereading a book series that I'd once enjoyed was just the ticket!
Comfort reading?!?
Since mid-March, I've read and listened to audiobooks for:
Laurie R. King: Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell series
Ben Aaronovitch: The Peter Grant series
Jim Butcher: The Dresden Files series
Alan Bradley: Flavia De Luce series
Richard Castle: Nikki Heat series
Kelley Armstrong: Rockton series
Shirley Rousseau Murphy: Joe Grey series
Catherine Coulter: A Brit in the FBI series
Thankfully, when the library building was closed, I was able to check out ebooks and audiobooks via phone apps.
Now the library is open, and I've enjoyed reconnecting with my favorite librarians and staff.
In addition, I volunteered with a group to help convince voters to pass a millage for our local library.
I put up yards signs, attended Zoom meetings, and hung door hangers with a handful of other local library enthusiasts.
And the millage passed, by a good margin!
Our 1969 library is going to get new HVAC, lighting, and electrical systems.
New meeting rooms, new children's area, new furniture, and computers and genealogical set-ups.
Yes, I am an avid book lover!
And yet...
Mother Nature soothes the soul.
Being outdoors while listening to the birds, watching the squirrels and butterflies, and simply breathing; this too has helped me negotiate these unusual times.

I used my Prima app to play with the colors.
