Tis the Season….
On September 20, 2023 by PamEvery year at this time,, we start thinking about Autumn and with that, comes “the bringing in of the plants”.

That leaves 40 books left until December 31st….there are 122 days left this year…so, that is about 10 books per month. I think that is very doable for me so, maybe, I will even go over…who knows. This month, I am
