I did take that morning walk yesterday as the sun came up. I picked up not one but two pinecones. Jim said he may go with me this morning, we'll see about that.
In other news, I finished a book. This time it was The Dry Grass of August: A Moving Southern Coming of Age Novel (affiliate link) written by Anna Jean Mayhew. Is it just me or do others think the way I do. I kind of find it silly to put a colon and an explanation or the book at the end of a title. It does seem to be a trend among authors these days. Can I just say to current authors that the best of them in the old days didn't need to do that. Consider For Whom the Bell Tolls: A Novel or Treasure Island: A Novel or The Good Earth: A Novel of China. Silly, right? The best of them didn't do that so just stop it. Let your best story tell the reader what it is. If you have to explain it first it makes the title seem weaker to me.
Now about the book. The story was from the point of view of a young teen and her family. Brutality and racism and family tragedy and disfunction were mixed up in cruel and deadly ways in this story and it kept the pages turning chapter after chapter.
