The Sun Is Still Shining, Right?

A cloudy day at the beach last year.

I wouldn't know. We haven't seen the actual Sun in days. It has been cloudy, rainy, and warm, which is better, in my opinion, than cloudy, snowy, and cold. I'm listening to Jodi Picoult's HARVESTING THE HEART while posting promos on social media. I was astounded by the coincidence of one of her characters being from County Donegal when I've just learned I have a fairly recent ancestor from the same county. Have you ever found a tie to your life in one of the books you're reading?

I mean I had a role model in one of the books I read as a kid. What a beautiful beach anyway, cloudy or not.

I can assure you the sun is shining as bright as ever. I often come across words or phrases in books that I've recently heard elsewhere. I'm talking about long or strange words or words/phrases I'm not familiar with.

We've had a good bit of rain. The lower part of the backyard is like a sponge right now, damp and squishy.

The sun made an appearance here yesterday afternoon but it's gone once again. Today we have rain That's interesting that you are listening to Jodi Picoults book and one of her character is from Donegal where you have an ancestor. I find books or tv shows that center around New York familiar since that's where I came from.

I enjoy stories set in places with which I'm familiar.

It was warm, rainy and dreary here too. I've never found anything in a book that tied in with my life. Have a good day.

We've been having a mix of sun and clouds. If Apple is right about the weather, then there's a good chance that we'll get rain later today. Time will tell.

We briefly saw the sun this morning, now it is overcast as the rain moves closer to us. Yesterday was beautiful. No I can't recall finding any ties to any books I read, except the Bible.
