Who Knew?

That Mr. Bates is a bada**!


Forgery, pickpocket and now MURDER? Granted Tony Gillingham's man needed to be gone but OMG!


And Edith! That poor girl can't seem to catch a break!


All in all a great season!


Already looking forward to season 5.;)

What I'm Reading

This has been a HARD winter! Especially for us southerners who aren't used to freezing temps.:)
I have found that a good book in front of a roaring fire is the perfect anecdote to the winters blues.

I have really enjoyed Elizabeth Gilbert's epic novel, The Signature of All Things


It is fascinating , sweeping and historical all set against the backdrop of 19th century botany.
A definite two thumbs up!

Next in the queue is The House on First Street.



The house depicted in this hilarious account of a post Katrina New Orleans renovation is actually quite famous having been shown on the pages of Elle magazine,New Orleans Homes and Lifestyles and most recently its garden were captured for Southern Living magazine.



I have a fondness of heart for NOLA for she was quite kind to 2 of my children during their academic pursuits and am drawn to her wonderful architecture so I can not wait for this read.
Tell me! What are YOU reading?
