A true confession to my BLOG

It's summer time and I need to confess my book reading has really come to a SLOW down. Yup I do declare as slow as a turtle crossing the main street. But I can let you know the books I have started are an EXTREME delight.

For me I have started two books but I want to add more.


Abraham Lincoln: Vampire HunterBy Seth Grahame-Smith 

• I love the opening scene I am so intrigued to read more but by the time my little guy is down for the count lately so am I. (true confession)

Summer Sisters: A NovelBy Judy Blume

• I am also trying to get this book opened every time I go to the beach. (I have noticed these friendship books haven't been my greatest love this year but we will see)

So what have I been doing instead of spending my nights reading.

• Gardening - We are part of a community garden in Patchogue, NY
• Working - still working on getting my consulting business off the ground
• Beach days - weekend is beach days 
• BBQ's - spending time with family & friends
• POOL TIME - little man loves it so we are busy floating and looking for treasures under the sea. 

We did read some great children's books. He is in summer school and the curriculum is Under the Sea. My next post will be about those books. 

I am hoping to get on track but right now I am still enjoying the summer. Cheers to all!

Happy Reading,

Children Book Review :: Water, Weed, and Wait By Edith Hope Fine, Angela Halpin

W
e are part of our local community garden  when I saw this book I grabbed it. We read it that very day when we got home and little man was so excited to talk about what we planted. The anticipation we have as we go to the garden was shared in this book.

The illustrations in the book are a delight for the child and adult reading. It is so much fun to watch him point out the many vegetables. Below is a nice picture some of the vegetables we picked this past weekend.

Product Description (from Amazon)

When Miss Marigold challenges the kids at Pepper Lane Elementary to turn an unpromising patch of their schoolyard into a garden full of fruits, flowers, and vegetables, they know they'll need all the help they can get. Soon everyone in the community is lending a hand—including an unlikely neighbor with a soft spot for gardening—and it isn't long before peppers, zuccchini, sugar peas, snapdragons, zinnias, and much more are growing and blooming.

Back matter includes photos of students gardening in real school gardens and information on how readers can start their own school or home garden project.

I hope you enjoy the book and the ideas to build a community garden. The benefits are not just a a bountiful harvest but wonderful community friendships.
