Miss Benson’s Beetle by Rachel Joyce & Three Came Home by Agnes Newton Keith
“Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.” – Adlai Stevenson
Last month I put out a question: “Are you reading this?” Someone answered, and he was not happy.
With the first of spring’s flowers, I am reminded that even after a harsh winter, the world comes back to life. I share your relief and cautious optimism that COVID-19’s grip has finally loosened.
It’s not always clear to me if folks in town read this column. Occasionally I’ll get a comment or two, but a lot of times, especially lately, I won’t hear a peep.
