Books:
Angus and the Ducks, told and pictured by Marjorie Flack
1943, Doubleday & Company, Inc.

Happy May!  I checked the hedgerows and the may is definitely blooming, so it’s official.  Here is what we’ve been up to lately.

Books

I recently reread Angus and the Ducks, a very fun little book about a dog named Angus (no, not that one). The pictures are very interesting and striking as well.

 

 

I’ve also been reading some classic mysteries, as usual.

 

Food

As the weather gets warmer I always feel like eating things that are fresh and raw, but I don’t want to fiddle with complicated salads.  I normally just chop up whatever’s about.

This is even nicer when you put it in a jar with some sea salt, olive oil and lemon juice and leave it overnight, and it goes with pretty much anything.

Life

Before the grass gets too long and the bugs too numerous, now us a great time to walk around barefoot. It’s a long school term for us here, everyone is cooped up with SATs and things,  when we’d all prefer to be enjoying the first warm weather.  So we try to grab any chance we can to get outside.

What have you been reading/eating/doing this May?
