I read (listened to) Kristen recently, as well! I had seen people like Haley Stewart & Jessica Hooten Wilson —among others—sing its praises. And I was pleasantly surprised at how readable and enveloping the story was!
I love Kristin Lavransdatter! (If I can ever spell the last name right 😬) We had to choose a book to read independently in my senior seminar English class and my professor suggested that one for me--and she was right! The development over the course of her life, the complex family relationships, and the mystical mixing of Nordic religions and medieval Christianity all captivated me. Hope you continue to enjoy!
I love Satie's Gymnopedies... It's such a beautiful song for the background of watching November light wane. My son is learning it for his upcoming piano concert. I never tire of hearing it!
I have never read the entire Walden...just snippets for school, so I'm excited to read along and have the accountability.
I like the art pieces you've picked for this newsletter...they're quiet and unassuming. They caught my eye as they're all trees, and my daughter (13) is studying trees for a full year in science at her request (we homeschool). I don't know who is enjoying it more. We just finished reading The Hidden Life of Trees, and if you want to gasp and wonder with awe about trees...this is the book!

Yes! Peter and the Wolf!
My kindergarteners loved listening to that over lunch. I wish there were more stories set to music like that!
