As wintry weather approaches I am anticipating more time to pursue my other passion.

Like you, I have developed my own variety of garden fatigue, and I'm looking forward to a good book or two in the evenings. So far, I have Julia Child's "My Life in France" and Nicole Mones' "A Cup of Light" waiting for me.
But I also hear the swiss chard, sugar snap peas, fava beans, and cabbages calling my name. Now if I could just get a nice warm weekend to get some clean-up done. :-)
I am envious of your enthusiasm. I hope the weekend weather cooperates with you! Let me know how "A Cup of Light" is it sounds pretty juicy.
