But not this year, by golly. For reasons only Mother Nature herself can explain, we've been experiencing summer-like weather pretty much all spring long. And with June and the official summer start-date rapidly approaching, the forecast is still encouraging. How nice.
My house is not in very good shape but my garden is looking pretty dang dandy, which is telltale sign of my priorities. I admit, I'd rather pull weeds than wash dishes.
With the release of my second book, Grace in the Garden: Thirty Years of Blunders and Bliss I've had the pleasure of meeting some pretty awesome people. One of them is Kris Wetherbee. She is a garden writer herself and a fellow Oregon gardener so what's not to love, right? If you click on the link, you can see the vast amount of work she's done to spread the joy of gardening. She's also written a wonderful book with photos by her talented, photographer husband.

Kris graciously allowed me to write a piece for her column in the Oregonian newspaper and website. You can read it here. Oregonlive. Thank you Kris!
Are you a gardener? Do you enjoy digging in the dirt and tending plants or are you an indoor-only person? Got any exciting summer plans?
