Amy Goldman knows her squash.
After reading this book I felt as if I too knew my squash.
At least I was less afraid to grow squash.

" Pumpkinology 101" tells how to grow the
mammoth pumpkins.
I shall never be a Pumpkin King,
but I can dream.
Squash bugs get my pumpkins every year.
No secrets told on how to get rid of them!
What's on your nightstand?
oooh such great books! I am so studious this month, nothing is interesting. It is all science of the not so fun type. I read science for fun a bit, but this... well, isn't. I am a big fan of The Masque of Red Death by E.A. Poe... always good for a chill....
ReplyDeleteGrowing pumpkins! Yikes! I can hardly lift one. Squash - well that sounds good. I love squash soup. So easy to make and so delicious.

Onions, garlic, good and hot

Cloves and broth in my pot
Oh dear - you can tell I'm tired tonight.
I've been too busy lately to read much. Edgar would be happy with you.
ReplyDeleteMy nightstand is still buckling under Pillars of the Earth... why am I struggling with it so? I enjoy it but find I am not drawn to it!
ReplyDeleteDear Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI too love to read science for fun.
I read Nature Journal and just skip the letters I am not crazy for. You are in the middle of your degree...no skipping!
I too shiver with Poe.
Boo!
Sherry
Dear Wendy,
ReplyDeleteGrowing pumpkins is fun but takes lots of garden space. I enjoy squash!
Thanks for the fun rhyme.
I am thinking "simmer, simmer" now each time I look at my squashes....
LOL
You are very fun to be with.
Hugs,
Sherry
Dear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI have books tucked every place!
I grab a page when I am waiting on this or that. I also write....
My journal and a book move to my to go bag when I leave, just in case I have a few minutes to write or read while running errands. One of the cameras also travels with...I never know when I will see a picture.
Poe is good.
Much fun,
Sherry
Dear Saucy,
ReplyDeleteIt might be too heavy of a read!
Add a poem to your morning coffee.
Hugs,
Sherry
Well, you've given an inspiring start to the October list...I will have to harvest my 2 squashes and ponder how to prepare them. Next year will be a better squash year for me.
ReplyDeleteWe've got books everywhere here, I always need a shot of fiction before bed but I am revisiting "Sleeping With a Sunflower" and researching "Gardening with Prairie Plants".
Dear Chris,
ReplyDeleteI am going to need to go book shopping again soon!
I re-read Sleeping with a Sunflower
all the time. I like the way you can read month by month.
Currently I am reading a book about migration for my bedtime story. I also began reading Nature Journal. It is a huge commitment. I am thinking of subscribing in 2009. It comes once a week so my book purchases may slow down!
