🍎 Important Update ( for @5feet.of.fury ) 🌸
I‘m no longer waiting. My favorite tree has blossomed.
It‘s adjacent to a wooden footbridge built over a small stream on the library grounds at work. It‘s surrounded by daffodils and…there‘s just something about it.
I'm not one who reads multiple books at a time, but I'll make an exception for this one. Still reading Chernow's Washington with just under 300 pages to go. I'm working on changing my front yard to all garden. I need all the help I can get.

I haven't read this yet but I've got it on order from the library, based entirely on a quote from the book I read somewhere that keeps popping into my head for no reason:
Citrus does not come true from seed. What this means is: If you plant an orange seed, a grapefruit might come up. If you plant a seed of that grapefruit, you might get a bitter lemon.

Went for a covid booster, treated myself at the local independent bookstore. Inadvertently only bought orange books
pickIn Dark Emu we learn that pre colonial Australia was not populated by unsophisticated nomadic hunter gatherers, but by people who had established agriculture, lived in houses and villages, curated the landscape. Major crops included yams and grains. A people who lived for ~65,000 years with an attachment and respect for land and who did not rely on violence as an integral part of their society. We could all learn so much from First Nations people.
pickInstead of “you are what you eat,” think “you are what your food eats.” A tad on the dry side (many studies are cited), but very informative. Soil health is incredibly important. What is good for us is what is good for the land.
