A nod to literary greatness

Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy.
They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs,
they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.
That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Writer Harper Lee was born on this date in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama.

  1. 🙂 that’s a great picture too.

    i just finished re-reading this again for the first time in a long time. i really did forget what a GREAT book it was. that boo even got a few tears out of me.

    my favorite line from that book is:
    “I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut up in the house all this time…it’s because he *wants* to stay inside.”
