pickI loved so many things about this: irrepressible Selina, her pony named Haggis, the food descriptions, the Scottish setting, and a goose named Big Wullie! The basic plot: Selina befriends a crusty old farmer when her pony keeps “planting” himself in said farmer‘s turnip field.
Selina is kind of a misfit—both her mishaps & her soft heart for outsiders are endearing. The exploration of what it means to take care of others, even when you and they ⤵️
Pumpkin carving with the family, and as soon as I saw the round shape of this one, I knew what I had to do.

Me and hubby went on a nature walk today so I could get some pics of the changing leaves. 🍁

so-soPicked this to read because it was short and well-known, without knowing anything about it but pop culture hearsay, and it was ... not what I expected. Tolerably whimsical until we arrive in Africa and become fixated on white men vs. black men, at which point … definitely influenced by its time period. The writing itself wasn't terrible, at least.

Finally catching up to reflect on the #BetsyTacyConvention! *Seven years* after committing to do the thing and being thwarted by the pandemic, it was a joy to finally make it happen. 200 fans converged on Deep Valley to see the houses, walk through Emily's slough, visit Lincoln Park, and connect with new and old friends. I'm so grateful and so tired and most of all, so thankful for Maud's writing and the gift of these beautiful stories. ❤️
A couple of weeks ago Mr. Crinoline was working in Mankato. I have been to see the Betsy and Tacy houses a few years ago with a friend, he had never been. And while the Betsy Tacy Society wasn't open, he did walk around and snaped some pictures. Now every time I mention Betsy/Tacy he says 'you mean Maud and Bick?' 🏡

This song says it all about farmers and their dedication to feeding us.
