Today the routine was a little different -- went out to shop for a short list of items, then swung back past the library, dropped one off (Ursula Le Guin), picked one up (Rana Dasgupta), then to the pharmacy for a prescription and vitamin C, to the P.O. to mail a couple of items...and home again.
It's been hot...I've kept windows and drapes closed, will open up everything again tonight and turn on some fans...
Meantime I have finished Barbara Ehrenreich, Living with a Wild God, which was very good indeed (I'd read her Nickel and Dimed earlier). It would be a great book I think for university student groups...
I am very far behind in reading the periodicals that come in -- but have at least made some "stacks" and can commence to get caught up.
Tomorrow I go out for coffee and some book-talk (Eliot's Four Quartets and John Booty's book of reflections on them); then I have a date to go to the University farm and collect a dozen "heirloom eggs" on behalf of the daughter-family-unit, who are away...they have sponsored a University Chicken this year and collect eggs every two weeks. Very exciting!
And in the evening, a sit-down with an art-studio group. I am hoping that the contents of the mending basket qualify me to take part!
And that is all that is new at Tether's End.

oh and the picture in the header was taken in the garden of the Vatican. At one point this was thought to be the missing "stopper" for the roof of the Pantheon. Clear days on the architectural front.....
I (heart) the 4 Quartets immensely. What is the book of reflections about it, I might want to give that a read!
Towanda -- Hi! you are looking for John E. Booty, "Meditating on Four Quartets" -- 2003, about 125 pages. Booty is a very workmanlike Anglican theologian in many areas. Hope you enjoy the meditations!
