• Groundhog Day and a Home Library Day of Surprises

  

  🐱This groundhog does not do ‘tricks’ like show you a season out of his shadow, but if he wants to, he will, and then he will take your treat after. Today, I gave 4 books away because I’d wanted to 😊💕📚. It was not great though overall: windy, cold, and the wind kept blowing my…

• Two Poetry Reviews: with an Unconventional Possible Wedding Ceremony Poem

  I am still practicing my recitation of a favorite poem by W.B. Yeats for you, and it may be some time, as I continue my reading of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I did drop the book accidentally on the ground on the sidewalk, but I learned this is a pocket book not the…

• Pride and Prejudice at the Library and Two Poetry Re-Finds

  

  Quickly snapped in a pleasantly secluded spot.🧚‍♂️I think the Non-Fiction sign signifies that I’m real (maybe.) 😊 This time the bus came, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice also made it to the library (with a Jane character inside, and a mistakenly named-Jane, myself, who often wouldn’t correct people who seemed confused with the name…

• A Christmas Carol, Bonus Stories by Charles Dickens

  

  I loved reading the “Other Stories” in Charles Dickens’ Christmas book and I finished the last two very short pieces this morning. They can all be read separately, and I can see how someone could pick one and read it slowly. The majority of pieces seem to be memoir style with universal themes and are…

• “Pride”

  I wrote this poem using the text of Pride and Prejudice posted on December 16, 2022, Jane Austen’s birthday. A “collage poem” with some lines from the text and my own words. “Pride” by Jade Nicole Beals Giving over? Giving up? I’ll never be sensible to the extreme. Surpass the rest? Like a thrill, not…

  I awoke to the very lightest touch of blush in the dawn sky; it was seen only by looking more closely. It is Tuesday night and in recent weeks there has been lots of fun with paintings or pictures, a free sketch one night in my blank sketchbook from imagination, and painting from my imagination…
