Since Mike’s son and his family have been visiting this week, I have not been on the blog too much. I’ve missed it. We’ve been pretty busy but I’ve squeezed in time to read a little bit of Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. I’ve actually been both listening to it on CD when in the car and reading it when I go to bed.

Barbara (I’m throwing her name around as if she and I are pals…I’ve never met her) lives in Meadowview, Virginia. We are almost next door neighbors! When it comes to rural life in the south, she gets it.

However, this book is so much more. It’s about climate change, monarch butterflies, the amazing Dellarobia and the “Lord’s business” in the lives of the fictional Feathertown set in rural East Tennessee. It also celebrates the “forever” friendship of two women.

If you like to read, you’ll love it, and you’ll be smarter for the time you invest.
