my true love gave to me
3 French hens
2 turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear treeeee
.⭒°✵°⭒.
it's rather stormy outside, keeping me from sleeping most of the night. pots flew off their perches on the balcony, the partition on the right rattled and flapped, and the wind whistled loudly against the roof. i foud myself reading at 2 in the morning, unable to get back to sleep. thankfully, today has no plans, so i'll probably carry on reading, and maybe go for another walk, once the rain stops...
back to recapping this year.

that has been his residence
for many years}
::
The House Of Hopes And Dreams - Trisha Ashley

who loses her home, after her partner of many years dies
and his son decides she needs to leave.
told via first person,
and snippets of letters from another female craftsperson
who lived a century ago, and somehow becomes part

it's drawn me in...}

to finish this one.
on my waiting list...}
