Hurray for the bees! And yes, they are impossible to photograph... Mr Jefferies is much more accommodating.

Bees!
After several years of almost absolute silence on the bee radar here at Chez Norma, there is a large increase in their population this year. It is not up to the pre-2006 levels, but it's definitely getting there. Our yard of flowers and flowering weeds is a very inviting place for them, and the ...

I Used to Read
I used to be a voracious reader. We had no books at home, or hardly any (I am not exaggerating about this), but when I entered first grade (we had no kindergarten), I was determined to be reading at an 8th grade level. How could that be? What was I reading? How did I learn? My mother, a young ...
I do hope you get your reading mojo back! I love reading, although it goes in spurts. I read less, now that I've become addicted to knitting, but a good book still demands my attention. I have to be careful about when I borrow books from the library - because I have little to no control when I have found a good book, and everything around me is ignored until I finish.
I do tend to read exactly what I want to. If I don't like a book, I stop reading it - even if it is by a local author and won the national book award and ya-da ya-da. Nancy Purl suggests that you subtract your age from 100, and read that many pages before giving up on a book - which means I only have to read 44 pages, and if I'm not hooked yet, I'm done. No time to waste on books I don't like!
