Yesterday, Debby and Rocky Hebb dropped by our house in Middleton. In preparation, I stopped at Bees Knees in Lawrencetown for some baked goods, i.e. muffins.
I noticed a card, advertising ‘Shadows I’ve seen’ by Joe Beninati. Joe lives in Paradise.
Afterwards, I stopped at the Lawrencetown Library to see if it was available. Caleb Miles, checked the catalogue, I could pick it up in Bridgetown.
Today, I stopped at the Bridgetown library before a meeting with Ed Symons at COGS.
On a whim, I again found myself at Bees Knees. The copy for sale was published in 2025. The Library copy was published in 2023. The subtitle for the poetry book is ‘Mother Nature talks; Mankind Balks’.
I also picked up the new book by Jane Baskwill, Spyglass Secrets. Jane had written a review of Joe’s poetry.
I stopped at COGS, and checked out new books at the Library.
