Welcome to Litsy!

#5JoysFriday is here again. Where did the week go? @DebinHawaii
1. Finished a frog 🐸 criss stitch. Made it into a card.
2. I made yellow cucumber 🥒 relish
3. My African Violet is starting to bloom
4. Look at my tomatoes 🍅 from my garden
5. We bought a new lawn tractor 🚜 and my husband is really happy.

This is one of our garden decorations. Had to bring him home when I ran across this years ago, because he reminds me of one of my favorite childhood books...🐸.

Trying to get these nightmare book piles in order today & made this section non-fiction with Frog & Toad keeping watch. 🥰

Our dear friends sent us a load of books 📚 & this very stylish shirt 🐸🍄 10/10 highly recommend!

1. Pittsburgh - my parents lived there for a very short time. It was only a few years ago when a son lived there that I went back to visit.

2. Philly suburbs

3. Older sister, older brother, younger brother. Sadly my older brother passed away 5 years ago.

4. The Frog and Toad books. I loved them!!

Lifted from Twitter.💚should have remembered the artist works with The New Yorker.

A sunset from my walk this evening. I was listening to a Frog and Toad Audio Collection which I somehow never read as a kid.

I tried to read this to Annabel but after about 10 pages, she decided it was a DNF. I guess it just goes to show how different individual book tastes are. 🤷‍♀️😂

My eldest child has been selected (as a Freshman) to direct her college‘s Spring musical — Frog and Toad. She rewarded herself by re-purposing a Wegmans Eagles football-themed cookie cake.

1. Tagged 🐸 - loved those books
2. Mrs Piggly Wiggly - loves those books too
3. I don‘t really read that genre - maybe Gone Girl
4. Creamed chipped beef over toast
5. I‘m a day late 🤦‍♀️

@Eggs

Happy May 1st!

Just came across this adorable article again: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/frog-and-toad-an-amphibious-celebrat...
'an amphibious celebration of same sex love.' 😍🥰 #queerbooks 🐸🐸👬

Okay I‘m documenting this here because I just accidentally reset my timer: 3:15 and a few seconds! #24b4monday #imamess

Audiobooks totally count for #24b4monday right?!😂 this is all I can do while I cook Thanksgiving dinner today!😩😂

Discovered this guy in the “healing garden” at the hospital.

Last night I told him to pick out ONE book

1. Fantasy, YA, new releases, sales/bargin bins and used
2. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the lights"~ Dumbledore(Harry Potter) and "if at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you"~ car wash sign by my house
3. Frog and toad, good night Sammy and the littlest Christmas tree
4. @Graywacke
#FridayFavorites @Lova

I always read the source material before a show. #Theatre #StageManager

So this is actually from Dear Fahrenhight 451, but OMG I love Frog and Toad so much! The audiobook is super awesome because it‘s read by Arnold Lobel himself and is a perfect way to get the kids to fall asleep. Just saying. My favorite is the one about the missing button. 🐸💖

1. Litigraphs bag from @NataliePatalie
2. A game night at a friends house
3. Peanut butter fudge or crab fondue
4. Brambly Hedge plates
5. 🎶 So bye bye Miss American Pie...🎶

Never thought napping on a cactus could be comfortable, but this frog has proved otherwise.
#DuckDaysofSummer #FrogDaysofSummer?

Fromm - The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (to understand myself and others)
Eco - On Ugliness (to see the beauty)
Tolkien - Lord of the Rings (even if you scared you have to do some things)
Hawking - The Universe in a Nutshell (to understand how small we are)
Reaper/Edwards - A Brief Guide to Ideas (to understand philosophical and religious ideas that have shaped the world)
Lobel- to appreciate friends and friendships

How I feel when I'm with people who love winter...

I am Toad.

I have a To Be Read list that is so long I will never be able to finish it and I'm okay with that. I look at it as something to ALWAYS enjoy and look forward to doing. Anybody else okay with the hundreds of books you have yet to read? #BooksToTheSky #TBRList

#biblioweekend for the giveaway! Summary of my reading for Labor Day!

This book is, far and away, my kid's favorite. Can't tell you how many times I've read it, and I still love it too.

So I know I've mentioned I have a hard time with audio books. The one exception is the Frog and Toad collection narrated by Arnold Lobel. It's especially good for when you need to take long car rides out in middle of nowhere to get the kids to take a nap!

Cleaning the house we're moving from, and my son asked to listen to a book with me while I clean. This is what he picked from OverDrive! I love Frog and Toad!
