Dear Bookstore Friends,
It feels, finally, like fall is around the corner. The mornings are cool. My friend told me her young son took the garbage out a few days ago and came back inside screaming, “Mom, it’s freezing outside.” Well, it doesn’t feel ‘freezing’ to me yet, but I have been able to work outside a few mornings and my yard is starting to take on a more “cared for” look. The overgrown lantana has been trimmed, the roses are lightly pruned and ready for a new blooming season and I’m thinking about fall bedding plants to buy for the flowerbeds. On my next visit to my local nursery I will also be selecting several trees for my yard — one for each of the people I knew who died in the past two months. I like to plant a living reminder of friends and family whom I can no longer see and talk to — a memorial of sorts. [Continued on Letters page]
