After a couple of rainy days, it was a pleasure to wake up to a beautiful, sunny morning! Sunshine lifts the spirits! A pineapple from our own plant ripening on the kitchen table, and a bird’s nest in the bottle brush tree-it’s all good.
Today is a very special day. It’s exciting to announce the launch weekend of a new blog!

I just finished JANE AND THE MADNESS OF LORD BYRON, by Stephanie Barron. Ms. Barron has written a series of books featuring Jane Austen as a detective. There is a wealth of detail about the people and the period, and the mystery is intriguing as well. Definitely a good read! She was meticulously accurate about the characters taken from real life, such as Byron, Caro Lamb, and Lady Oxford. While I first had a little difficulty seeing Jane Austen as a detective, it somehow feels right as presented by Ms. Barron. Most enjoyable.
