Came back to this post, and today, I can see the photos. Beautiful!
(Cue the song: How much is that doggie in the window?)
Restaurants that manage to screw up a salad - oh man. Just astonishingly lame.
Lesson Learned.
Wondering if you've read this book:
What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses: Updated and Expanded Edition
by Daniel Chamovitz
Plants can hear—and taste things, too!
...... an intriguing look at how plants themselves experience the world—from the colors they see to the schedules they keep, and now, what they do in fact hear and how they are able to taste. A rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb, What a Plant Knows offers a greater understanding of their place in nature.
Carol! I'm buying a house in Nashville! So busy....
I have not read that book, but it reminds me of The Secret Life of Plants, which I read at least 50 years ago and loved. Rocked my world actually! I've been obsessed with reading classics. Just finished "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." I love being in those earlier versions of the world. Folks seemed lovelier, more genuine than we are these days. I wonder if they were as confused about world events as we are, as brainwashed about our government. I can see that they took government, and all its dictates, for granted. I wonder what plants think of all that? What the world needs now, is Ents.
Got any classics you can recommend? No Dostoyevsky please, and I will barf if you say Jane Eyre. I've tried reading that three times now, and cannot finish it. I must be missing something essential.
How you? And all?
