Sound circle

During the hottest, soupiest summers around here
, one of my dear aunts used to say, “This is the worst weather for murder.”

I don’t think there’s any good weather for murder, but we knew what she meant.


On Friday, Chef Nature finally turned off the burner on the soup, and yesterday I got the chance to eat breakfast on our front porch. 


It was a simple spread: egg, bagel, milk and coffee (made every morning by my husband). I read a bit of my latest mystery.* A light breeze lifted the scent of lavender. Our wind chime chimed. Song sparrows sang.


I may become a morning person yet. 

Ask me on Monday.

My latest mystery is "The Fellowship of Puzzlemakers" by Samuel Burr. A perfect porch read.

  1. I'm always open to book recommendations. I read too many political books. But here's one non-political book: "After the Ecstasy, the Laundry" by Jack Kornfield.

  2. Still into mysteries! Remember we spent a summer decades ago seeing how many we could read from the Glenside Library?

    1. The ones with the green skull stickers! I have a couple guesses as to who you are, Anonymous. After all these decades, I may need an extra clue.
