On this blog I plan to write about my walks and nature, share recipes and also talk about books. Travel books and nature books fill my soul when I can't get out. Yesterday I stopped at a used bookstore, and came home with several excellent choices, including The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer and Biking with Butterflies by Sara Dykman.
I loved Braiding Sweetgrass, and hope everyone will read that book. The Serviceberry is much shorter, but seems to touch on some of the same themes. The subheading of the title says "abundance and reciprocity in the natural world. First I'm going to read the Bicycling with Butterflies book. This is a 10,201 mile journey following the monarch migration. The writer started in 2017, traveled to Mexico and then rode her bike along the same pathways the butterflies follow, from Michoacán Mexico to Canada and back again. This book has everything I love, nature, lessons about the butterflies, and the enjoyment of the travel. I will report back as I finish this book.
This picture shows a small section of some of my favorite reads. Do you have any more suggestions, or questions about some of the books here? Stay tuned for more book discussions!
