There’s a lesson in here about appearances, which I will get to. But for now can I just say maybe I’m watching too many police procedurals? At the sight of a guy unloading big full suitcases into a storage unit, I think: dead body. At the sight of a group of vultures circling overhead, I think: dead body, as in human remains. Seeing an old guy wheel a shopping cart to a nondescript warehouse (above), I think: serial killer. Maybe it’s time for some tales of etiquette and love. #toomuchtv #suspicious
One of three Golden Ponds. Vista. Evidence of beavers. There were anglers and dog walkers and a group of women learning cheers? Performing a group energy shake? #longmontcolorado #waterandlight
I’ve become a real fan of Lauren Groff in the last couple of years. Read her short stories this past spring (“Florida”) and found them captivating (esp the story about the hurricane). This novel takes place on a commune in upstate New York. It’s a community led by a charismatic guy we love to hate. Story mostly seen through one male character’s eyes from childhood to adulthood but there are LOtS of characters, which I guess you’d expect in a commune. The damage done to children through benign neglect is explored, along with end of life passages. This book made me ache and stayed on my mind for days. #readersofinstagram #laurengroff #literaryfiction #whatareyoureading #booksbooksandmorebooks
Small pouch outfitted with ceramic beads that I made in high school (!!). Vintage button from cutter-clothing collection. Found in a drawer. #smallpouch #sewinglove #japanesestylebag
