    Revisiting “Lost on a Mountain in Maine”

    July 28, 2020 /

    Back in 2016, I wrote about the Maine woods, growing up learning and knowing how to stay safe inside them, and about Donn Fendler, who, at 12 years old, got lost on Mount Katahdin and survived walking about 35 miles over the course of nine days. This past weekend, on July 25th, I hiked the same trail Donn Fendler and his hiking party hiked 81 years and one week before—and revisitedĀ Lost on a Mountain in Maine.

    From My Bookshelf: Think Pink

    March 3, 2020 /

    Currently I am sitting next to an open window, listening to and periodically watching the rushing water of the river directly behind my apartment. There is not a cloud in the sky and the fresh air is doing wonders for my mood. And since this spring-like March day has me thinking about rolling green fields and blooming flowers, I am directing my attention to the books From My Bookshelf that feature one of my favorite spring colors: pink!

    From My Bookshelf: The First “New” Books of the Decade

    January 14, 2020 /

    Here with another Happy New Year greeting – this time From My Bookshelf. It’s the first FMB post of the new year and new decade, so I thought it would be fitting to feature the books of my first 2020 book haul.

    From My Bookshelf: Garden, Pearl, Tales

    December 3, 2019 /

    For the past few months I have made it a habit to organize/tidy up my bookshelves at the very beginning of the month. It’s another great way to start the month off refreshed, and if you find organizing your shelves therapeutic like I do, it offers a few moments of calm before the onslaught of a new month of responsibilities. This month was no different, and as I rearranged my bookshelves I once again encountered the black canvas storage basket in which I keep some of my more delicate vintage editions. The three I’ve chosen for this installment of From My Bookshelf all carry a different level of infamy, they…

    From My Bookshelf: Green Thumb

    May 21, 2019 /

    This edition of From My Bookshelf is a unique one, in that I am featuring just one book, and it is not a typical read-cover-to-cover book like the others I’ve written about. I picked it up on a whim at my favorite bookstore, and figured I would share it via FMB before spring ends: The Green Thumb Garden Handbook by Doc and Katy Abraham.
