I had a wonderful visit to Lexington, Concord, and Minute Man National Park today. The park was filled with all kinds of fascinating history about the first battles of the American Revolution. Plus, it's all set among a beautiful landscape of flowers, trees, and grasses. And, it wasn't the least bit crowded. It was a perfect day for a stroll among nature while taking in some important and interesting history. Highly Recommended!

What if Minnesota were Mni Sota Makoce, a Native held and governed land? Reclaiming Mni Sota, a forthcoming alternate history novel by Colin Mustful tries to answer that question. #historicalfiction #history #minnesota #native #fiction #reading #amreading #historythroughfiction
“I laid my hand on her waist, crossing in front of her. “Do you know what the Irish say about bluebell woods?” I asked, tugging on her hand. She followed, allowing me to lead her. “They say they’re enchanted.” I turned back to her with a smirk. “That fae use them to lure people into their world and trap them there.” — Stars on Fire While in Flanders, Holden comes across a sea of bluebells—or as he calls them, Faery Ringers—blanketing the floor of forest near Voormezele. There are many folkloric nods in Stars on Fire, but in this particular scene Holden’s Irish roots shine through his usual staunch agnosticism. Superstition says that walking in bluebells may lead you to become 'pixy-led,’ or dazed by enchantment and unable to find your way out of the woods. Whether or not Holden believes in the Fair Folk, he mentions them playfully throughout the book. #StarsonFirebook #bluebells #folklore
In this Reel by Kate Thompson - Author, author of The Little Wartime Library, she shows how, in wartime, millions of women followed the Beauty is Your Duty propaganda campaign and wore red lipstick in the factories and dancehalls, not because the government told them to, but because, especially in the proud working class east end, looking good has always been a badge of honour!
