Somewhere Safe With Somebody Good by Jan Karon

Here is a delightful book….warmhearted, spirited and loving.
The title, Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good by Jan Karon.
The tenth book in the Mitford series, this engaging fiction book 
does not disappoint. Father Tim an Episcopal priest retired, 
and his wife Cynthia, return to Mitford after a trip to Ireland. 
Five years gone from the pulpit, Father Tim quickly finds himself 
back into the swing of Mitford life and struggling. The many 
characters are quirky, sad, troubled, comical, and bighearted,
just like real life. It's a feel good book without being too sugary.
The title itself draws you in, after all isn't that where we all want 
to be. This book was written a few years after the author had 
decided to end the series but the fans deluged her with pleas for 
more. You can pick up and read this book without having read 
the others. Step into this book, lose yourself for a few hours and
have no regrets having done so. Loved this series, thumbs up.

You Grow Girl by Gayla Trail

YOU GROW GIRL by Gayla Trail an 

urban delight, this garden book how-

to. Very simple in style and tone, basic

instruction for beginning gardeners.

Divided into helpful sections, Plan,

Plant, Grow, Bounty, and Chill, it even

shares craft ideas, tips, resources, and

a couple of recipes.  Pictures many, 

illustrations very upbeat, the author

comes across witty, stylish, organic 

but street-wise. A great different kind

of garden book how to.. I loved it. 

Country Living Season at Seven Gates Farm

Now for my book review and quite timely thank you. This
is a fantastic seasonal go to book for decorating, displaying,
showcasing your garden areas through an evolution of the
seasons. If you like home-spun, rustic, crafting from nature,
if you like seasonal changes in the garden, holidays, collections,
and ideas galore, this book is yours. It's warm, personal, and
I'm in my happy-place when I read, no devour, this book.
I love it! 

From Seven Gates Farm, where James Cramer and Dean Johnson
lived and created the most beautiful surroundings of garden 
wonder. You'll move from the decorated spaces of the various 
gardens, green-house and their home, filling you with idea 
after idea of primitive composition. It's my very favorite 
decorating book. From 1996, I've had it for years, recommending 
it to everyone who share the love of seasonal home decorating 
and gardening.
