Everything looks like rectangles today. The screen of my TempoTreadle, the the number stickers on my Louet Jane, the windows with their weather drama. The little fluffy ends of the heddles add a contrasting illusion of grass on the bottom of the picture, as if this were a prairie scene.

The sleet is blowing horizontally and there are several inches of white stuff accumulating on the ground. The amount of light coming in here is tremendous. We have not lost power. Now I think I will heat up some spaghetti sauce and pretend we are in southern Italy.

No book recos today. I like to post them only after I’ve finished reading them. The other thing I ought to tell you is that I never post the name of a book if I didn’t find something of value in it or some pleasure in reading it. It doesn’t have to be a prize winner. If the book is one I really, really, really liked I will state that, but otherwise I’ll just post the title and author. I mostly read fiction, esp. literary fiction, and some biography and history. I occasionally go for a good police procedural. I read a lot of foreign authors in translation.

My all time favorite book is Middlemarch by George Eliot (pen name for Mary Ann Evans). I’ve read it three times, once as a teenager, once in middle age, and once as an old woman. What’s your FB?
