Grabbed me hook, line & sinker and because it is based almost entirely around the eastern seaboard, it is a most perfect book for a summer read. Hope you'll let me know what you think of it. Thanks for your sweet words ;>]]<br /><br />Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-30284733653475296392012-08-19T16:53:15.040-07:002012-08-19T16:53:15.040-07:00Ahab's wife has been on my shelf for over a ye...Ahab's wife has been on my shelf for over a year.

I can hardly believe that I would even have ten followers here on The Path, much less 205...you are so sweet. I popped over to your blog and am envious about your cat-dom! We can't have cats at our house as the Mister is allergic, but we both love them and would have a menagerie if it was possible. Kudos to you for turning a love into a *profession* and your Kane is adorable - he appears tall for a sheltie, yes? Life would be so empty without our furry friends...<br /><br />Thank you for your visit. I'll see you 'round!Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-29776119208063715582012-08-14T05:51:17.226-07:002012-08-14T05:51:17.226-07:00What a beautiful blog.

I hate starting books (with promise) that by page fifty, leave me cold. So disappointing. But I, like you, Deb, will have images from this tale stay with me. I am nearing the end now, savoring every page, going slow so it doesn't end too quickly. Planning to read another biographical fiction by the same author next: 'Abundance'. A tale about Marie Antoinette. I like to do this with authors when I find one who so totally captures my imagination.<br /><br />Yes, more big heat coming. We'll all head for shade.

Book choice is such a personal matter, after all. My 1st reaction was to reply, "take Ahab's Wife anyway, even tho it's big, even tho it's long...you will not regret it!". So I guess that must be my true answer ;>]]<br />Have a lovely & safe trip.Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-24212497716949234682012-08-12T05:44:40.274-07:002012-08-12T05:44:40.274-07:00Ahab's Wife is one of my absolute favorite boo...Ahab's Wife is one of my absolute favorite books. I read it several years ago and it's so beautifully written that the images have stayed with me for a long time. And the story...beautiful and sad and true.

But very glad I did, since now I'm progressing through it at my leisure with no pressure to return by a due date.

Our garden is flourishing. We continue to water and keep new water in the pond to keep the fish happy. I weeded the garden, but found the weeds were protecting the flowers from the heat. Go figure. The dawg is sticking to the room with the coolest air conditioner and still he breathes hard...he's not healthy and the heat takes its tole. <br /><br />Love your pictures..as always.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434342308817990711.post-32761314607950142262012-08-07T15:38:25.519-07:002012-08-07T15:38:25.519-07:00great photos!great photos!Mo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.com
