So glad we both liked Left on Tenth.

Thanks Judee. I love taking these photos of the snow. I havent actually watched Everything Everywhere … but I think it might not be my type of film with the magic in it and special effects. I tried to watch it once & fell asleep! But I might try again. I hope you are enjoying an early spring.

I have not seen it yet! Your photo with the snow scene is beautiful.

Hi Anne: yes the tree photo was recent — it was a morning where hoar frost had accumulated on the trees. It’s weird but I think it happens when fog and cold hit and gives a frost effect. It’s neat to see on the trees. Today we are supposed to get quite a bit of snow whoa! We already have about 8 inches on the ground.
I think you will like A Town Called Solace. A good story. I liked it a bit better than Crow Lake. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Helen, yeah I was a bit surprised by Ephron’s will to fight and persevere at her age this very hard bone marrow transplant. Wow.
The movies have sort of snuck through. I’m not sure I’ve been enthralled with any so far but I’ve liked a few. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Mae, yeah this memoir has a bit of everything in it — it’s not solely about her illness but towards the end there’s a chunk of it that is. It’s also about her love life after losing her husband 🙂 I didn’t know much about Delia … as I knew more of Nora’s books & movies but it was interesting finding out a bit about Delia. Quite a family! Enjoy your weekend.

I read Lawson’s book Crow Lake years ago and remember it being emotionally impactful. // Love the photo of the snow and trees. Is that now? This weather. Who can figure it out?

Somehow movies haven’t been on my radar. I need to remedy that. Left on Tenth sounds really tense and powerful; some people are so resilient and life-affirming. I am sure it increases their chance for survival.

Like others, however, I’m not fond of memoirs about illness and misfortune! Glad you enjoyed it.

Ohh good to know Stargazer. We have Prime so I’ll look for the movie. It seems pretty bonkers. LOL. Sometimes the oddest picks get Oscars. ha. Enjoy the Oscars, if you watch it on Sunday.
