I’ve got new pretties in my sidebar!! Under Dave there is the link and logo for the Maryville Farmers’ Market, which I am so excited about I can hardly wait until Saturday!! And right underneath that is my “Recommendation of the Month”. Each month it will link you to one of my favorite books, music, movies, etc. This month it’s This Organic Life: Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader, by Joan Dye Gussow. It was a wonderful love story, gardening tale, and food experiment and is one of my favorite gifts from David. I hope you enjoy it too.

Through the quotes in Joan’s book I first learned of Wendell Berry. Her life and loves truly are organic…she feels the earth, a good house, a plot of land. She lives her convictions and in writing about them, brings the reader in as well. There’s even recipes, which I found homey and comforting, bringing the trial of growing unfamiliar things full circle when the inevitable question comes, “But how do I eat this?!”

Here’s a gem for eating seasonally from Alice Waters:

The things most worth wanting are not available everywhere all of the time.
