life and growth

A rabbit got into the garden last week. He didn't seem to eat anything we would regret. They seem to find so much among the grass, God bless them. A simple diet is best, isn't it? Then I didn't see any rabbits for a week, until today when there were two baby ones, running around the hedges. So, it continues. 


Look what somebody dropped off at the library this week.


I love this story. Look at the cover!


So elegant, with the gold edging. But there's a fragrance, like the previous owner wore perfume and now the book has it. I might just bring it back - I don't fancy having to smell that whenever I read it. Such a disappointment.


I was reading in St. Matthew's gospel, near the beginning, and it said that after the Magi came and asked where the child was who was born king of the Jews, "he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him". I never noticed that before - all Jerusalem was frightened? How interesting. 



I picked a handful of beans today and steamed them; my brother can have them with his eggs tomorrow for supper.

  1. I don't think I would like a scented book either. Perhaps the scent was added to mask some other less pleasant odour? What a nasty thought! :D

    1. I had wondered if the publisher was responsible for it, but it's hard to believe. It's so beautiful otherwise; surely they know some people wouldn't want it? ??
