Giving away gardening books:
I am not giving up on gardening, but my eyesight is fading ( from diabetes), so instead of donating the books to the library towards an uncertain fate, I would like to offer them here.
- Wayside wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest by Dee Strickler, stunning photos and excellen informatio.
- Gardening with Herbs for Flavor and Fragrance by Helen Morgenthau Fox., originally published in 1933. Only a few drawings, but extensive information and lore.
- Trowel and error, 700 SHortcuts , Tips and remedies for the gardener , by Sharon Lovejoy. lots and lots of great drawings, excellent tiips and shortcuts.
- 500 Popuare roses for the American Gardener - gorgeous photographs, great information.
- Second Nature by Michael Pollan - my favorite contemporary writer. No picturers but well researched subjects and engaging writing.
I am not selling these books but hoping to find a good home for them
( Is that allowed, Group Mothers and Dads?) I'll await your decisions on that.

I've been going through this , as well . Had my real lenses replaced with acrylic some years back , then started having laser treatments - at least 14 on each eye . When they reached an end to that they started poking needles into my eyeballs . At one point I had started getting the large print books , and was afraid I wouldn't b able to read at all in a short while , but although I still wear glasses , I am back to reading regular print .

Yes, I had many many laster treatments over the years, also lens replacement. One eye was disabled by neuropathy, laser scars are in the field of vision. Reading text is becoming a real chore, so I now rely on Books on CDs and in real life use all of my other senses. I have been a collector of books all my life but now have to say good bye to them.
@Spinliesel I so empathize ! When I was preparing move here , my ,"little," brother phoned our mother and told her to tell me , I had to get rid of all my books . I told Mom , the house I just bought has a separate library . I'm not getting rid of any of my books . She and I both laughed .

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
