Chapter 13 (Volume II, Chapter I) "One man‘s ways may be as good as another‘s, but we all like our own best. And so you must judge for yourself, whether it would be better for you to go about the house or not.” Persuasion

Wise Words from Admiral Croft.

Another edition on my Wish List - Dover Thrift Edition paperback. Just love pattern on cover. Very autumnal. ?????

Took me forever to decipher whats happening in this cover. Rather pretty though.

I've always felt a little out of the loop with Persuasion, never finding it all that romantic, but I think I appreciate it more now. So much suspense, so much yearning! So much snark! 😂

"no one so proper, so capable as Anne!”- Persuasion. Things go wrong and you need someone like Anne.

I've loved this little seating area I made that looks out over the kitchen garden. Perfect for early morning cups of tea and reading Jane Austen.

Need to make room for citrus trees to overwinter. Will definite bring back in the spring when citrus go back out to the patio. ?☀️??❄️

November walk inspired by yesterday's chapter. Had our first hard freeze in the morning. Afternoon was perfect for wearing my new Irish sweater and hat. Laphroaig scarf found awhile back on Ebay. I'm slowly replacing things like these that I lost in house fire. Love how they match this Persuasion.

Today we're off to the seaside (virtually) - "The young people were all wild to see Lyme."

Chapter 10 has inspired me to get out for a November walk this afternoon. Especially since it's cold & I have a new sweater.🍁🍂

Sorry I'm not showing off the edition I've been reading (the Annotated Persuasion, highly recommend!) but I need to geek out over my weekend trip up north and visits from chickadees that will eat right out of your hand. 😍 Making good progress on the story, though- Anne is shipped off for a time to wait on her spoiled hypochondriac sister Mary, and of course, Wentworth starts coming around! It is painful and awkward and I love every second of it.
