Oh too true! I read "At Seventy" - actually all her work - and liked it. I love reading journals. Perhaps one of my favorite was her "Journal of a Solitude." Mary
It may well have been- here https://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2018/01/jacobs-room-is-full-of-books-january.html I can't tell you how it pleases me that you read them from this post. Thank you.
I love journals, thanks for highlighting this again. If it's in journal format I like to go through the months, one at a time and not skip around. I am rereading Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diary again and sticking to the appropriate month. Obviously I am reading about March events now.
By the way, this blog header photo is so wonderful, capturing a great scene. I would frame that photo!
Aren't you just so nice to say that about the picture. I'll pass it along to Tom. I'm kind of reading At Seventy that way. I began it on my 70th, which was on her 70th. Only hers was in the spring. So I decided instead of seasonally, I would read the entries on the same days as those after her birthday. For example, May 4 is the day after her 70th so I read it on the day after my birthday. (My gosh, what a clunky explanation!)
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
Right. We should never postpone a visit.
ReplyDeleteNo, we shouldn't, but I'm sure everyone does, and it is often too late.

I like journals and letters. Good thing I don't work at the PO! haha
DeleteThinking like that today. I read an obituary yesterday. Life is short.

Of someone you knew? I'm sorry.

The rub comes in applying it . . . .
Yes, and I read it just after I posted. And you are so right.
DeleteWas it you who wrote about this book earlier? I ended up reading her Journal of a Solitude AND this one.....copied multiple quotes.

I have read May's journals at least 10 times each! They are comforting to me and I love her mindfulness to her inner and outer life.
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think I've read anything that many times!

There are too many people I'd love to visit before it's too late, but we are so far away.
ReplyDeleteThat makes it so hard, Kay.
