A good book for anyone who plans to garden - large or small scale.

Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual - by Michael Pollan. Not a diet. Not a weight loss program. Not a fanatical set of things to do with your food. Just a simple little book full of “rules” for eating real food by the famous Michael Pollan. This book is easy to read and entertaining. Read it with your family.

Steal Like an Artist- by Austin Kleon. Art, doing art, sharing art, looking at art, appreciating art, talking about art is all so important to the wellbeing of our souls. Art can be so many things. Some art ends up on a napkin and some art ends up in the Smithsonian. And most art fills the giant space in between. And most art is never seen by another person. Austin Kleon picked the best title ever for this book - Steal Like an Artist - and I’ll bet you are thinking, “What! Real artists don’t steal!” So. Read this little book, over and over so you can banish the fears that go with “doing” art and see what Austin meant by “steal.”
