I was walking the pups a few days ago and stopped to chat with a woman walking her own dog. In the midst of our conversation, she asked where I lived. When I pointed and explained, we were about a block from my house, her face lit up. She said - you are the house with all the flowers. Yes, yes we are.
I enjoyed this book, but I have to say I figured out the plot very early in the book.
Not only did I figure it out, I was confident I had it correct.
I think I would have enjoyed the book a lot more if I had not.
So, I am not planning on reading any more by this author.

I culled my footwear this spring. I need very good support. I am careful with my back and neck, which means quality shoes.
First, I have a pair of mud shoes that I can throw on to take the puppies out to pee in the rain or adjust the sprinkler. I do not wear these for any length of time.
My mainstays are six pairs of shoes.
I have three sandals which all stay clean.
The middle pair are keens. The other two are Comfort Finns. The pair on the right are for to/from yoga, I can get them on and off while standing with my large yoga bag.
Also in the rotation, bottom shelf from left to right, a pair of athletic shoes for gardening, clean pair to wear to a clean walking event, and my dog walking shoes.
The gardening shoes start out new each year and quickly look quite old. These have been going strong since early March at our house and our daughter’s (we are landscaping and planting grass at her house).
