" THINKING "

I'm thinking I'm exhausted lately! I know what you're all thinking, you should be! I really haven't done much lately and not because there is not a mile long list of things that REALLY need doing either. I just suddenly ran out of ZIP ! My energy has entered the G zone! GONE!
So I'm doing a lot of just sitting and thinking............

Thinking that the 2010 Farmer's Almanac is not so full of good news for some of us....

Look at this Winter Weather prediction will you......That's us between the L & D in the word cold! I like COOL not COLD !!!! I knew after the crazy Summer weather we've had, something was up!

I'm thinking too this new issue of Oxford Magazine I got yesterday is the best one yet!

All about Southern Literature and Southern Writers! A great article about the "muse " by Alabama Author Rick Bragg! A great article by Graham Hillard on why Faulkner is taught in classrooms! Also a Southern Literature Poll of the 10 best Southern Novels and 5 best Southern Non-fiction books of all time compiled by 134 Scholars and writers. There is also a list of 30 under- rated Southern Books. I was shocked at how many of these books I own! :)

Reading this got me to thinking about great books I've read and would like to re-read this fall.

I have read all three of these books twice. My first set of these burned in my house fire. I replaced them and read them again about 10 years ago. In 1954 Helen Hoover and her husband bought a lake shore cabin for a get-a-way place in the wild north woods of Minnesota. They ended up moving there full time. She wrote, he illustrated. These are wonderful books and I'm ready to read them once more!

This Louise Dickinson Rich book is also a fabulous read about living in the wild! I'm going to read it again also. Sometimes I'm just in the mood to go back to an old favorite, do you ever do this?

I'm also thinking that my exhaustion might be alleviated by a week stay in this wonderful Smoky Mountain Cabin.................sitting on that porch reading the above books!

And.....taking in this view! I'm not sure I can wait till November though! I'm TOO homesick for the mountains!!!!!!! :)

Have a great day !!!!! :)
