Hello there. How was your weekend? I hope it was lovely.
I managed to find some down time over the week and weekend. Oh how I love down time. And oh how I needed it.
Some of my downtime I spent trekking to the little creek at the back of our property line with my kids, and having picnics of chips and salsa and playing for hours. It was perfect. (Ever since reading this I have been trying diligently to be good about getting in pics with my kids. I’m getting better, it’s not easy. Btw, do you like my boots? I’ve been loving them since I first took a sharpie to them. )
The rest of my down time I spent diving into Jane Eyre. I am just shy of half way through, and getting to know Mr. Rochester. I am in a big rush to read it before I see the movie (have you seen it, what did you think?), but am really not wanting it to be over too soon. Good books always kill me that way.

Than you still got so many nice scene’s to read. It’s such a great book, I really love it. (I like your blog very much, although I didn’t comment anything until now.)
Pfui!
Thank you for your sweet note! And for getting me even more excited about the book. I could hardly wait for the kids to go to bed so I could crack it open after seeing your note, to see what was in store…
Oh, Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorites – the ending has me in tears every time! The new movie looks great; it was about time they came out with one.
I’m glad you had a great weekend!
What a fun way to spend a warm day! And Jane Eyre rocks. :) The book is one of my faves and even the old b/w movie is a good one. Hope the new one does the book justice!!
Thanks, Michelle! I haven’t seen the b-w version of Jane Eyre. I will definitely make sure I get to it. goody goody!!
Im so glad your getting some down time..you are such an amazing, talented person that I admire so much..Enjoy the sun as I hear we have more rain coming…
Same here about books!
I read Jane Eyre when I was about 15 years old; it’s a good book, although I found it a little too melodramatic at the time. I’m sure you’ll like it!
Enjoy the sunshine :)

thanks for your sweet comment. i would love to see your book art if you get around to it! my son has those froggy boots too and loves them, even though they are too big for him still :)
So glad you got to have some down time – it looks like you had fun! Hope your week is going well, Stephie x
Excellent book. It can be hard to get through, but so lusciously detailed. You should read “The Brontes of Haworth” by Ann Dinsdale for a wonderful visual tour through the life and times of the Bronte family. I loved it for the pictures of the village and the parsonage where they lived. I found it at our local library. Enjoy!
I’m reading Jane Eyre again too. I haven’t read it since I was 18… but seeing the moving prompted me to dust it off and read it again. I am loving it!
Calli! Thanks for your sweet note.
I just finished Jane Eyre this past weekend. It is SUCH a great read, isn’t it? I just felt so gratified with every new twist and turn.
Enjoy it!!
