Coping

If you live pretty much anywhere in the U.S, chances are you have been hit with far too much snow over the last month. Unless of course, you are one of my smugly snowless in laws in southern Arizona. At my house, the snow got to ridiculous levels.

How do I cope with the Janu-Febs? Lots of wine and books about places that are warm and full of gardens. From the Ground Up is about a California garden - the author's first garden actually. It's nicely told - not too smug and not trying too hard to be clever. Just an easy read that helped to remind me that February cannot last forever. I give it a 6 out of 10.

Also, I love a good gardening memoir. Any suggestions for future reads?
