I loved those books so much in my childhood, but they were only briefly published here and somehow my own copies disappeared (possibly fell apart...I read and read again, and they were only paperbacks)<BR/>Are they still in print in the US? I longed for them for Hattie Gandhi, but that was pre amazon, and they just weren't available here.

While I love summer and agree that that love is enhanced by the transition from cold weather, during summer I always find myself thinking of lower temperatures and later seasons. <BR/><BR/>The problem with that, of course, is that the "winters" of Southern State are tepid compared with those of Native State, the end result being that it's cold enough to make you miserable but not cold enough to snow.BrightBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002463263474418737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-58852275710730542652008-06-23T22:40:00.000-04:002008-06-23T22:40:00.000-04:00You write so beautifully, jo(e)You write so beautifully, jo(e)Yankee, Transferredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627693160131161133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-51887034438706886902008-06-23T22:11:00.000-04:002008-06-23T22:11:00.000-04:00Considering the eastern philosphies, I might have ...Considering the eastern philosphies, I might have the yin to your yang. There is a zendo near my inlaws, in the center of State Named for a Famous Quaker, where the clutch of cold winter breaks silently before the warm stone hearth. As I sweat now in our southern piedmont, your contrast reminds me of another season and those quiet sittings.jaysonwithaYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786947739800921521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-85220396437267730722008-06-23T15:20:00.000-04:002008-06-23T15:20:00.000-04:00Amen!

It's always such a wonderful feeling to shed the coats, scarves, layers of fleece, etc. For me, the first sign of spring/summer is the first day I can trade <I>boots</I> for <I>sandals</I>. The best part of summer, I think, is refusing to wear <I>socks</I> for as long as humanly possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
