4. As an avowed book lover, the pic verse very true. Sunny Sunday here. Expecting kids soon.

Now reading The Language of Flowers: a novel by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. Wow, surprised, a new voice, different female. "The Victorian language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions: honeysuckle for devotion, asters for patience, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it’s been more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster-care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go, Victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But..." That's all to give away. Very good.
