Writing Spaces: Beverly Cleary, Age (Almost) 96

I'm a bit early in the celebrations, but since this Thursday marks Beverly Cleary's 96th (!!!) birthday,

I thought today's Writing Spaces feature should be dedicated
to the author who brought us Ramona, Beezus, Ralph, and Henry Higgins,
aka THE GREATEST CHARACTERS OF OUR CHILDHOOD.

This was the clearest photo I could get of something resembling her office,
but it seems like the photos of her relaxing at home have several distinctive features:

flowers,

books,

and mischievous smile.

Happy Birthday, Beverly!
