I found Big Cat Diary on Amazon Prime and confess I bought it. I loved that show back when my husband and I met, and I watched much of it with him. It's a super big nature documentary. What's not to love? I read a fascinating book this week about wolves. I really love wolves. … Continue reading Big Cat Diaries, Wolves, and Homelessness

Books, Studying, Panama
I have so many new books. I have one in depth book about the octopus. I have another with gorgeous up close photographs of plankton. Additionally, I have a book coming in the Victorian language of flowers. I would consider myself a Victorian housewife more than a 50s housewife, and I am always interested in … Continue reading Books, Studying, Panama
Another Great Book to Read!
Speculative Poetry I got a book of speculative poetry and preparation for a workshop I'm taking on Saturday. I'm just now diving into it. It's really interesting the way the poetry straddles the line between fiction and verse. How worlds can be created inside of a poem.

There are things in … Continue reading This Book is Blowing my Mind

On the front it even says it ranges from Baudelaire (one of the … Continue reading A Book with Breadth and Depth

I got married to a wonderful man and had a wonderful little baby and I've never looked back since. Now … Continue reading Stay at Home University
Great Book

This is the particular book chosen for the workshop. It's really good so far. It has some great examples of riveting work, along with essays that teach … Continue reading Great Book
Patriarchy
I'm reading Timothy J. Gordon's book, "The Case for Patriarchy," and I love it. Christian patriarchy is a beautiful thing. It forbids spousal abuse while promoting male headship. My husband is my leader and the head of our household. I obey him, and he loves me like Christ loves His bride the church. I don't … Continue reading Patriarchy
