She'd be a wonderful blogger. Maybe that's why so many liked the book? <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading <EM>Dear Friend and Gardener</EM>, especially after your enthusiastic endorsement!Entangledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261805004615133289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-2119322020234125922007-11-20T12:10:00.000-04:002007-11-20T12:10:00.000-04:00Hi Jodi, How wonderful to find another long-time G...Hi Jodi, <BR/><BR/>How wonderful to find another long-time Green Thoughts fan! I knew LostRoses was one of us after seeing a picture of the book in her sidebar some months ago.

I was very curious to read it after the mentioning in various blogs.

Your review has reinforced the thought that I want it on my christmas wish list. I have told my family that this is the year of "books" for me. It seems like I wind up with themes for each christmas list.Last year it was paint brushes. One year guitar music. I could go on and on. Do you ever find that to be true with your wish lists? <BR/><BRLisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.com
