It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits.Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realize that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.In this wonderful audio book, Caroline mixes personal stories from her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favorite poem. As she likes to misquote Dorothy Parker: ‘Take to horticulture, it’s cheaper than a shrink’.Ver libro

Riley Sumner has always enjoyed life's simple pleasures: a hot cup of coffee on a chilly fall morning, a well-hit line drive in softball, or the awe-inspiring beauty of God's creation.

In his memoir, Riley looks back on his life through a series of 40 questions covering topics that range from childhood to adulthood, from high school football to fashion faux pas. There's even a chapter about being part of the Secret Service detail for Vice President George H.W. Bush. (Yes, seriously.)
