Books -- reading and writing.
Home, cooking, the weather.
And whatever connections I can make between these chapters of my life.

The Things We Save

Notes from an exhibit, circa 2007, at the Morgan Library.

I'm not sure what the topic was, perhaps letters from writers?

"I miss the companionship of the character in a degree that is really laughable. 
Take warning. It's a great mistake to get in too deep with your heroine."

Willa Cather, 1915

My Quote for the Day


 There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.
                  Willa Cather

It's raining again in the northeast. I love the rain. Thunder off in the distance. Somehow, this quote just seemed appropriate for today.

Quote for the Day

"In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again."

Willa Cather,
My Antonia
