The Places They Go

Books can be read anywhere and with anyone!

This week our posts have focused on places you can read – at home, on a day trip, camping, on vacation or in the garden. I love this photo of Mackenzie and her dog Plato. Our furry buddies can be awesome reading partners. I wonder if that article in the magazine is about dogs since Plato seems so interested in it!

Mackenzie also visited Hovander Homestead Farm in Ferndale, which is between Bellingham and the Canada border in northwest Washington State. Swedish architect Hakan Hovander emigrated and settled in Ferndale, and 1901 began building  a huge 6,800 foot house on a 333 acre farm. It is now restored and owned by the Whatcom Parks and Recreation, where you can visit the grounds on self-guided tours. The gardens, benches and surroundings seem like perfect places to relax and read a book!

Of course, you don’t have to travel anywhere to read. You can stay home with your dog, or you can go outside on these hot sunny days and stay cool with some water, a slide, bubbles and a fun magazine! Looks like fun!

Thanks for submitting these photos Mackenzie!

Keep reading! Mrs. Hembree
