Just as an FYI, my weekend plans include an Into the Stacks post for the entirety of the summer. Maybe I’ll break it up into a couple smaller posts for readability. But I have piles of books all over the Burrow just waiting to be written about and I know it will make me much happier if I can get that task taken care of and the books put away.

In the meantime, if it’s Thursday, it’s time for Three Beautiful Things:

1. The deep end of the pool is open again, a pleasant surprise when we arrive.

2. Erin Mckeown divides the club up and we all sing the parts she assigns us. Later, we oooh and ahhh as her background chorus. It echoes through the room enchantingly.

3. On Monday, the fingers on my right hand are purple. The blackberries are humongous and ripe and Sarah has chosen a good spot for us to pick from. I like the way you move a leaf and discover a whole new, untouched cluster.

What’s beautiful in your world this week?
