Good fences really do make good neighbors!

April 28, 2009 Filed Under: dogs, fences, neighbors

So, the fence is up, and I have to say, it has done wonders in quelling my neighbor-related angst. It's also made having two German Shepherds so much easier (except when they are outside and it starts raining, and we don't realize it, and they decide to mud wrestle in the garden and then run through the house).Argo has pretty much said, "Hey, it was nice knowing you, but I have a yard. . ." That dog can spend all day lying in the shade sniffing the breeze. He is blissfully happy.Stella, on the other hand, was more excited about all the attention she gets when Argo is outside.

I took full advantage of the ability to read anything I wanted to while I was in the hallowed halls of a town library. And when I was overwhelmed by classroom life, spending lunch in the school library reading the encyclopedias was my favorite form of self-care. After my first novel came out, a childhood friend sent me a picture (first photo) from my hometown library. I don’t have the right words to explain the pride I feel to know that my own books are on the same shelves that held the books that taught me about storytelling when I was a child. And last year, right before the shutdown, when I popped in to the San Francisco Public Library, I got a little misty-eyed when I found a copy of STAY, with Argo’s beautiful face looking up at me (second photo). It is a powerful thing for our communities to have public libraries and the support of librarians who work so hard to cultivate safe spaces and free access to information and literature. Happy National Library Week to all of you. #nationallibraryweek
