kcobwebAll God's Children Need Traveling Shoes, by Maya Angelou. This is about her time living in Ghana, which I know precious little about, except for stories I've heard from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kassrachel and yaoobruni. I really think I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is her (Maya's) best work; to me, the rest just don't have the same narrative power.... This was still quite enjoyable, because she has just led a hell of a life!
I realized after I finished this book that I own several more of her autobiographical books, and I'm not sure I've read them, besides Caged Bird. I might have to go on a little Angelou spree and get caught up.
After our snow yesterday, it was a lovely day of 60 degrees. Woohoo! Spring really feels like it's here. I planted some daffodil bulbs last fall, and they actually came up and have flowered. We also have parsley and garlic coming back in the herb bed, as well as hollyhocks spreading all over the lawn. Today we discussed which section of the tiny backyard we should dig up to plant as a garden.... I'm slowly cleaning out the room that will soon be occupied by the roommate. Had a Brahms rehearsal - we perform it tomorrow afternoon. And I've been listening to the Beethoven Missa Solemnis in the car (very loudly) because we perform that in two weeks! Made some lovely rice and beans tonight - I'd been craving that the past few days.
