Temple Stream: A Rural Odyssey by Bill Roorbach

3.0

This is a good book. 3.5 stars, today, tomorrow maybe 4.0. A fascinatingly detailed description of birds, flowers, beavers, the water cycle, human history, and of course the stream itself- really good stuff. The pace is, relaxed, or perhaps laconic. Don't expect a thrill a minute. But it is well done, with story lines to just hold it together and when you are done you have a sense, just a sense, of what the author is experiencing along the Temple Stream. Topped off with a poem, the poem, about the stream. Slow down and read to get the most of this one.
