There are many others I love and own but none with the gentle soul of this. The landscaping at our house is my able husband's domain - I know what I like but am severely lacking in horticultural education. I can tell you that I would be very happy to spend the snowless (and maybe the snow ridden as well) months languorously lounging here.quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484326999396839391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390485471778959088.post-11481000187849086852011-01-10T10:02:16.572-06:002011-01-10T10:02:16.572-06:00One of my very favorite books.

He hopes to see it in person one day, but the few times that he has been able to--open garden days--he has been otherwise engaged. He has met the lady several times, and thinks she's a rather good egg, and from him that is a sincere compliment.
