Where I share my love of books with reviews, features, giveaways and memes. Family and needlepoint are thrown in from time to time.

Happy September!

"The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze.
"
- John Updike, September

The poem makes me long for some fall weather to match it! How lucky you are to be going to one of my favorite places: Milwaukee.

And congratulations to the winners!
