Floral Burst

My love of reading and books is no secret. Over the years, I've bought more books than I've sold or donated. Way more. I don't usually sell books that I've enjoyed, but I started to run out of room. So this past year, I've sold my books. It started with the garage sales; I sold about 50-60 books. Then I found a few sites online that would buy some of my books, so I sold another 50 or so to them over a couple months. There were some books I just didn't want to part with. But. Yes, but. Many of the books I don't see myself re-reading. I like to experience new stories too much. So I decided that my books needed to be enjoyed by new people. This past weekend I sold another 100 books, then any that I didn't sell, I've listed online to trade with other book lovers. Today I put 10 books in the mail - sending them off to new homes.

Which brings us to today's blip. In front of the post office is a garden plot for the local dahlia society. They have so many beautiful varieties, just begging to be photographed.
