Book Give Away!


I want Spring to be here even though it means lots of hard physical labor for this little girl.. so in anticipation I am giving away a copy of one of my favorite books! The Herb Basket- An Illustrated Companion to Herbs by Hazel Evans. Six years ago this spring I started a strickly herb only garden right out my back door and away from the vegetable and flower gardens. This little book helped inspire me by giving me recipes, directions and gorgeous pictures to feast upon. I now dry or freeze all my herbs, that is the ones I don't use up fresh first. If you would like to be entered into the drawing for this book just leave me a comment.

BOOK GIVEAWAY!!


I have a lovely little book that I would love to send someone. If your interested leave me a comment.
Book Description from Harper Collins

Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D., the internationally known poet, psychoanalyst, and author of the seminal classic Women Who Run With The Wolves (99 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, translated into eighteen languages, and a bestseller worldwide), touches our lives anew, rendering in the strong and lyrical voice for which she has become known a powerful series of her signature healing stories.

These elegantly interlocked tales of loss, survival, and fierce rebirth center around Dr. Estes's uncle, a war-ravaged Hungarian peasant farmer and refugee, a faithful gardener, and a storehouse of stories who was one of the "dancing fools, wise old crows, grumpy sages, and 'almost saints' who made up the old people" in Estés's childhood.
Told with graceful simplicity, deep feeling, generous humor, and profound optimism, The Faithful Gardener is, at its captivating core, the story of an open-hearted child who listened well to her old-country elders and who grew up to remember, to bear witness, and, as one of the premier storytellers of our times, to remind readers and listeners of all ages of "that magisterial life force within all things that strengthens us in times of turmoil or transition, that faithful force which can never die."
