Morning visit to the Newton Free Library, in which I admired:

1. The Fence Art, including this gorgeous pup…
2. This gray book cart, parked in the atrium next to my favorite aqua cart;
3. Incredible free public events — like Meditative Stitching on Tue, 10/20;
4. Informative and beautiful displays on Indigenous uses of medicinal plants.

I love the October garden!! Please admire the thriving pollinator garden on the centre green — look at these New England asters. Sleepy bees were everywhere. Do yourself a favor and take a stroll through the garden and see what she’s doing.

Thanks to Spark Newton gardening volunteers for doing the hard work of planting and weeding and digging and cleaning…

Please join us on Wednesday, October 7th, at 7pm, as Elizabeth Searle discusses her new novel, Lock Her Up. She will be in conversation with Marianne Leone, author most recently of Christina the Astonishing.

Jayne Anne Phillips, author most recently of SMALL TOWN GIRLS, calls Elizabeth, "A surprising, edgy, and original writer."

Tom Perrotta, author, most recently, of Ghost Town, says of Lock Her Up, “Elizabeth Searle gracefully walks the knife’s edge between wild satire and ripped-from-the-headlines realism.”

I can't wait to see you tomorrow night!
