Late Migrations
Author: Margaret Renkl
Publisher: Milkweed Editions
ISBN: 1571319875
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
From the New York Times columnist, a portrait of a family and the cycles of joy and grief that mark the natural world: “Has the makings of an American classic.” —Ann Patchett Growing up in Alabama, Margaret Renkl was a devoted reader, an explorer of riverbeds and red-dirt roads, and a fiercely loved daughter. Here, in brief essays, she traces a tender and honest portrait of her complicated parents—her exuberant, creative mother; her steady, supportive father—and of the bittersweet moments that accompany a child’s transition to caregiver. And here, braided into the overall narrative, Renkl offers observations on the world surrounding her suburban Nashville home. Ringing with rapture and heartache, these essays convey the dignity of bluebirds and rat snakes, monarch butterflies and native bees. As these two threads haunt and harmonize with each other, Renkl suggests that there is astonishment to be found in common things: in what seems ordinary, in what we all share. For in both worlds—the natural one and our own—“the shadow side of love is always loss, and grief is only love’s own twin.” Gorgeously illustrated by the author’s brother, Billy Renkl, Late Migrations is an assured and memorable debut. “Magnificent . . . Readers will savor each page and the many gems of wisdom they contain.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Northern Garden Symphony
Author: Cyndie Warbelow
Publisher: University of Alaska Press
ISBN: 1602234426
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Put the power of a garden planning pro to work for you! Northern Garden Symphony offers explanations and illustrations of the sequential blooms of ornamental perennials as a tool for garden design. The idea of sequential blooming, Fairbanks-famous author Cyndie Warbelow explains, is similar to the workings of a musical symphony, in which at least a portion of its stunning constituent plants is blooming at all times, even though they are not all blooming together. Given that perennial plants bloom for limited and specific periods of time during the growing season, Warbelow notes, it is crucial that a garden be designed with sequential blooming in mind. Yet this concept can often overwhelm and discourage gardeners. Using narrative, figures, photographs, and a groundbreaking set of layout charts that can aid even the most experienced horticulturist in the process of flower garden planning, Northern Garden Symphony gives gardeners the tools they need to be a successful northern perennial gardener.

Pages : 144
Book Description
“On a hot Sunday afternoon, in the town of Violet Bloom, the aged and wise Mr. Rot sat on his porch. He sat upon a chair that at one time belonged to his grandfather, and for the moment, he was contemplating life. He may have been thinking about his lack of a romantic relationship, which had been the case all his life. Or it could have been a thought regarding worldly occurrences. Or maybe it was just what to have for lunch . . .” Until now, seventy-five-year old Leo Rot had led a comfortable, if basic, life, with his parents in Violet Bloom—the small town where his family had lived for generations. That life is upended as he finds himself plagued by a series of events beyond his control. Family crises, incorrigible teenagers, an intractable rodent problem, and a hidden enemy will push Mr. Rot in a test of wills and character. Ultimately, he is thrust into a key role in finding the answer to his own mysterious happenings while inadvertently solving a puzzle in Violet Bloom’s past. This book tells the tale of how this new chapter in his life unfolds in unexpected ways, forcing the quirky senior citizen and others out of their comfort zones and forging new and surprising friendships along the way.
