Interesting book posted on the web today

i read that book awhile back, i highly recommed it if just to compare how times have changed. i got a hoot when she refered to "her man" as in her hired man, doing all the heavy work in the garden. what i wouldn't give to have a couple of hired men to clean up my yard every spring and fall. this was a woman who took her gardens seriously. her personality comes through and you feel like you are a friend when you finish. how many of us read a garden book like i do: read a paragraph, dream a few minutes, read another half page, mentally apply it to my yard, read a chapter and have a gardening revolation, i guess thats why it takes me so long to read a good garden book

Aputernut what are the origins of your kings? They are magnificent!! DH and I took a trip to Bronner's this fall. #1 on my bucket list was a visit!! I am sooo embarrassed and feel so STUPID. I was not interested in the video of the history as I knew it and saw much on Youtube, so avoided the "Program room". I did peak in at one point and it was dark as a show was going on...The next day, an hour outside of Frankenmuth I began reading their literature. To my GREAT frustration I discovered in that dark room are cases of 150+ nativities from 50+ different countries!! I have been begging and the Bronner's Facebook page has begun posting pictures of some of them. Unfortunately they do not post as many Creche sets as they do ornaments. But they are not for sale--they are a private collection so I get it. ANYWAY I added a camel and cow to my outdoor set..and I am scouring ebay for a few more shepherds..there are some older characters out there I would love to get my hands on!! We also went to one large spot light. DH is very into cutting our wattage use DOWN. I have a star hanging on the back of the light pole, and we have enough snow to cover the blue extension cord so it is all very nice IMHO

Thank you, Ladies! In spite of my touch pad and the fact that when I "right click" on the image it gives me the prompt: "Copy Image Address" rather than Locations (which saves me the time of highlighting and copying the long string of characters), the directions were perfect. I will copy these and keep it for future reference. For now, I'm going to post more lovely pictures. Thank you!

I have been guilty of the same thing I love pixel of ink. Plus I also have a ton of ebooks in epub format too. I have no idea how I will read them all. So many great free books I don't know why I would need to buy any.
