Living in Mpls. you know very well how precious the summer months are for making progress both inside and out! It doesn't seem fair that we have to cram so much activity into such a short time. Wishing you lots of luck (and about 6 extra hours every day!) for your remodeling project this year.<br /><br />Your quilting is BEAUTIFUL!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-59826335734921711372010-03-28T08:06:44.072-05:002010-03-28T08:06:44.072-05:00I applaud your efforts!

We have not lived in the upstairs rooms of our house since we moved here and I'm hoping that will change this summer! But of course there are a hundred other projects outside that take attention away... <br />I wish you luck!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570718941895225222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-60849103786143490932010-03-27T13:44:38.371-05:002010-03-27T13:44:38.371-05:00Hey, Mart - I, too, will be surprised if you can l...Hey, Mart - I, too, will be surprised if you can leave the business to carry on without you. That would be the business that you sold how long ago? The business that the new owner can't operate without you as his number one key employee? The business that I don't think you'll ever "retire" from?<br /><br />And you're right. We do need help. In more ways than one!<br /><br />Hi, Jordan - The book on top is "The Garden Primer" by Barbara Damrosch (Eliot Coleman is her husband). She's had tons of actual gardening experience (veggies, herbs, fruit trees, berries and flowers) and I love the down-to-earth way she writes A great reference book in my mind.<br /><br />The one underneath is "Joy of Gardening" by Dick Raymond, copyright 1982. It's an updated version of his first book, "Down-to-Earth Vegetable Gardening Know-How", copyright 1975. I don't know if either of these books are still in print. They are both by Garden Way Publishing. His two books literally taught me how to garden. (I didn't come from a gardening background at all and knew NOTHING when I started.) The pictures and illustrations in his books are great. He is also super, super down-to-earth and knows of what he speaks! My copies of both his books are held together with rubber bands because the pages are falling out from so much use.<br /><br />Hey, JJ - Romantic, huh? Tell that to my uncooperative lower back.<br /><br />Well, you gotta know there are a lot of things that you can do when the kiddlies have all flown the nest. And especially when you have four of varying ages. We had just the one, but when she was growing up we had a contract with a state park to provide them with 5,000 bundles of campfire wood each year and she worked right along side of us working up that wood. (She refers to it as slave labor.)<br /><br />Hubby and I work well together (on most things . . . wait for tales to the contrary when we get into the remodeling this summer) and are truly enjoying the intense days of wood working.<br /><br />Oh, Erin, you are so funny! (I can only hope you keep up with the hair coloring all throughout the year and not just in the spring! We gardening gals are known to be very high-maintenance!)<br /><br />You shan't be seeing any full wood shed pictures by tonight. We woke to rain/sleet/hail/snow this morning and now in early afternoon it's still raining. We had to switch gears for the day but hope to be back making sawdust tomorrow.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-15489358309789167612010-03-27T07:02:40.804-05:002010-03-27T07:02:40.804-05:00sorry to hear about your cold snap!

What I'm curious to know is, what are the books that you have stacked up there? If they're helpful gardening books, I'd sure love to know what they are!!!
