How Long Does a BOOK Last

EVERY time I meander through the grocery store produce section, I think about Barbara Kingslover's book about gardening. Always, I feel incredibly blessed to live somewhere where there are so many types of produce available all the time. All the vegetables and fruits any time I want them is a blessing but it is also a curse. I have learned how to escape the curse a little with Barbara Kingslover's book: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Through her book I learned not just that eating in season is ok and good - I knew that - but how to celebrate each season. I can recite to myself the string of vegetables that blooms during each time of the year, and I buy what is in season. I've completed two years of Spring to Fall purchasing. It feels so good to be in the know.
