I was drinking my first cup of coffee at 3:30 am this morning - just couldn’t sleep. We had a bit of a “blow” going on last evening - Ian remnants. Lost power for a while & had to go on the generator, but we’ve got power back. Still light showers now and again this morning, but at least the wind has died down. I’ve emptied the coffee pot (32 oz) & can barely stay awake - I think I need a nap!
Yesterday was “garden book day” …. 3 that I’d ordered were delivered early in the afternoon (weather wasn’t horrible yet):
The Heirloom Gardener by Jon Forti (used copy for me - looks new, so I’m pleased with that). I’ve read a couple of chapters & like it a lot so far. He can really express his thoughts well and what he says, makes you think … in a good way. Lots of nostalgia for the way things used to be done and determination to bring those ways back. I also bought a new copy to gift to a friend who loves to garden (herbs & flowers in particular).
Roots Shoots Buckets & Boots by Sharon Lovejoy – Christmas present for the great-nieces. I LOVE this book!! Their mom will love it too …. I’ll just bet they do the “Pizza Garden” next spring.
Sunflower Houses by Sharon Lovejoy – also a Christmas present for the great-nieces. I think their mom will get more use out this book until the girls are much older. Still, it’s got some good stuff in it.
