Oh, well, La-de-da.<br />Fabulous post, more more! www.thestylesaloniste.comDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-89113159349516145472009-08-14T21:26:50.022-04:002009-08-14T21:26:50.022-04:00& by the by Nichols was driven to be terrifica...& by the by Nichols was driven to be terrifically famous- remembered that is one reason he was so prolific- always ready for the next big thing. His biographer says he was not always liked- and could be extremely cutting, readers of the gardening books should read the biography- If they really want to Know BN.Though he had money at times he would not have been considered Rich- that is one reason he was cranking out the books- money spent and all that. The Merry Hall house almost broke him.

It is an important thing for me to remember as I blog away.

It is the most stunning country with the most warm and engaging people. Let's hope it settles down politically before too long.

Fisher. They arrived as I was taking a break from lawn mowing while the hornet's nest I hit calmed down so I could retrieve the mower. A perfect distraction, and they definitely cheered me up! I loved Sister Age, so I'm looking forward to Serve it Forth, and the Graham Rust book is really a surprise. I didn't know his work, and am now torn between framing some of the botanicals and keeping the book intact for the useful information within. THANK YOU very much.<br /><br />Now I'm off to put Beverly Nichols in my Amazon cart.balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.com
