Nov 2016

Still reading Kate Grenville's book, The Secret River. The story is unfolding slowly, but the author writes so beautifully that I feel completely invested in this adventure in New South Wales.

My family and I had much to be thankful for this year--good food, health and the promise of rain!! After 70 days with no rainfall, we are expecting rain over the next couple of days. The forecast is for 5"+/- in our area of N. GA. It would be nice if we could have gotten it more incrementally, but we will be happy just to have the moisture and to help with the wildfires in the SE.
