Treasure

My daughter sent "Gardening at the Dragon's Gate"
for my Mother's Day gift.
I am treasuring each word.
I am learning.

I am reading my special book before bed. A few pages at a time. This is a slow, deliberate read. I knew when I read the introduction I had met a kindred spirit.
Wendy Johnson writes,"My first principle is to learn gardening from the wilderness outside the garden gate." I too have studied the forest and the meadow.

When Robin suggested "Dessert Queen" I requested it from the library.
It took a few months to get to me.
I seldom read biographies. I am enjoying this one so very much I will try and remeber to look for them when I am at the used book store.

This is a quick, on the counter, read a page and go do the laundry, sort of book.
Very fun and informational.
I have bird books and herb books and butterfly books all stacked up by my desk.
I like books.
